A lil intro for anyone stopping by:
• I picked up photography during my honeymoon, where we went on safari in Zambia 🐆
• I didn’t want my pictures and thoughts just sitting on my hard drive, so I’m sharing them here!
• I’m not a pro—none of these are edited, but I might try to learn down the road 📚

a scratch in the shade—
the wild feels tame for a beat,
this ends when they grin.

Happy to share a beautiful bee-eater this Wednesday. Does anyone know which type this is?

Think it might be a chestnut-headed but never feel 100% certain!

Love the colors on the Bateleur eagle!

fun fact, their name in french is 'tightrope-walker', which they acquired for their acrobatic flight abilities

Usually, I'm on land while these guys are in the water, but this time the roles reversed—I was on a boat and snapped this shot as I passed by!

Out on the prowl early this morning just like this leopard we came across. It was interesting to see other animals follow him around (at a safe distance!)

Sometimes it's better to know where your threats are!

Very important to hydrate during the holiday season! Running around doing errands all day, going to parties, navigating family. Don't forget to take care of yourselves!
