Botswana grasps the value of conserving their nature and wildlife. Viewing the animals in their natural environment, especially from a boat on the Chobe River, provides an ideal perspective for photography!  

They say that once that red Kalahari sand has made its home in your shoes, you will always want to go back there. Unspoilt wilderness, treasured sightings and the rich human heritage, ensures that the Kgalagadi Transfronteir Park produces an unforgettable experience. 

The Kruger National Park has a treasure of offerings. One of my earliest memories there, is of my mom, cini-camera (8mm film) in hand.  Surprises await around every corner. Find your favourite road or part of the park, spend enough time there, and it will deliver, every time! 

Bird photography is not for the faint-hearted but it is absolutely worth the challenge when you manage to capture that sparkle in the eye--a sharp shot! One just has to keep trying. I'm not a Birder. But taking photos keeps ones passion for photography equal to one's passion for the subject. Here are some of our feathered friends who sat still for long enough! :)

The South African coastline provides an added dimension to the region's wildlife and natural environment. I haven't ventured into underwater photography, even though I have done a shark-cage dive! Nevertheless, there is enough going on above-water to keep me interested for now. 

Follow me into the secret world inside flowers! From the prolific bloom on the West Coast and Northern Cape  of South Africa, to the wild Cosmos in Lesotho, and Water-lilies on the Chobe River, the closer one is drawn into flowers, the more secrets are revealed: crystals, patterns, pollen, forests, insects--a whole new micro universe--for the macro lens!
