Tall Short Fat Or Thin

Of late itchy feet are starting to get to me, missing the annual break away somewhere into the bushveld, next best go through photography from last visit, guess what many not used so this is to take away the blues.

Going out packing a picnic lunch leaving early, come home late it is always on the day as to what steps out to greet. iSimangaliso Wetland Park never lets me down, a National Park teaming with life from the minute you enter the 332000 hectares.

You not always going to see the big five (wild cats are here, wild dogs too) possibility is always around the next corner, this is a region never to disappoint in animals or bird watching, time to stretch out with photography.

Buffalo in the grasses to Waterbuck peeking at you no yet moving around they watch us as we do them.

Peering through acacia thorn bush young female Kudu ever watchful, friend or foe.

Young bushbuck nibbling leaves before the sun dries them out, healthy start to the day.

Red duiker appears to be of the same mind swishing it's tail to and fro, what a lovely morning out.

Ambling along a Warthog on bended knee enjoying brunch snuffling around for roots as they often do.

Zebra standing tall and proud in painted pajama outfit, actually his everyday best!

Around the corner Wildebeest stand guard warning you, this is our family formation, you're not welcome.

Not so happy Hippo grunting and groaning around a small body of water, some in the water cooling off rest of the family shuffling around the bank, with an onlooker!

Giraffe moving along slightly aside from much bigger herd of around ten with his hitchhiker firmly attached having a snack.

Later in the afternoon herd of Kudu moving through the bush to another spot, this was rather a large family together a first to see so many.

Most get very excited sighting any of the big five so here is one from relatively close to the road to make your day, African Buffalo.

Leaving you with over a dozen or so photos to reflect on why not to visit Africa once in a lifetime, the Burchell's zebra showing reflections of memories I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing today.

Greetings and well wishes staying positive every day, thanks for visiting as always.

All photography is my own using Canon Powershot. Any queries or requests please drop a comment below or make contact with me, have a wonderful day! Photography without tripod, go with the flow wherever life takes you.
