It is crazy to think how different the bush looks two months apart. The brown winter hues are gone and summer has taken on a spectacular shade of green.
The light was perfect along the S100 when this #elephant herd made their way out of the river system.
"I am lucky to call the Lowveld National Botanical Garden my local neighbourhood gem."
My leopard luck in the Kruger is certainly picking up. I managed to enjoy this sighting as I was about to leave the park en route back to work.
The pop of colour on these little guys is truly phenomenal. The iridescent feathers can range from a deep purple to a rosy colour depending on how the light catches it.
A busy garden visitor, the Kurrichane Thrush is always kicking up leaves and garden debris looking for a meal lurking below the leaf litter.
"It is hard to describe the sheer power of a lions roar."
This highly disgruntled African Paradise Flycatcher eventually gave me a pose after being harassed by a Diederic Cuckoo.
Although I am not quite used to the Lowveld humidity just yet, it does bring in a swarm of bugs. This makes for some funfilled bird photography.
