Longing for open space once again, the bushveld is calling, going over photographs not yet used I overcome pangs of strong desire to be in this place once again.
Become part of the story, tap into local knowledge, sound, movements, take lots of photos to enjoy later, when like myself I know the yearning of a journey eats into ones soul.
Nyala she stood gracefully beneath the barren tree waiting for the rest of the female herd to catch up to her, quiet moments to enjoy alone.
Burchell's Zebra enjoying a romp in the dew ridden grass, while Red-billed oxpecker hitches a ride, great symbiotic relationship between the two. Many large mammals enjoy being cleaned of parasites while going about their daily lives.
Handsome young male bull Nyala slips out from between the trees to show the ladies he is growing up, soon a contestant in courtship.
Oh, sighed ewe quietly continuing to nibble on the leaves I too am young and soon ready to breed.
Hiding in plain sight through the harsh African thorns quite protected, unperturbed by man or beast.
Not hindered by hunters in protected areas where the Nyala is known to be a shy animal of Southern Africa. Smaller than the Kudu and larger than the Bushbuck.
Hope you enjoyed a photophile someone who loves photography. never goes out the door without a camera, best way to find relaxation now exploring all over once again.
