In February I spent three weeks in South Africa, visiting several bird-rich areas: Wakkerstroom, Mkhuze, St Lucia Hluhluwe and the Drakensbergen. Here are some of the photos I mamaged to take.
Thanks for looking

    Good images Peter especially #2. The birds in Africa make great subjects.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Very nice, Peter, and I especially appreciate these images of birds I never see. I love the deer photo--that's one unique capture. Best, Pam
