YEAH! for photo club. Having set subjects to hand in surely stimulates the creative juices! Unfortunately photography is a very subjective when it comes to taste, so though they LOVED the photo it did not completely comply with the theme of the month :-(
But I surely had a blast doing the shoot with my friend. Thanks again for helping out maaitjie!!!
Hope you enjoy the photos.
I am a studio photographer, I'm a life style photographer, I am a wedding photographer, I'm a family photographer... I'm a lover of good food and love spending time with family and friends... This list can go on and on, but in short, I AM A PERSON IN LOVE WITH PHOTOGRAPHY.

Kruger Park June 2012... and only posted now!
I have not blogged in a month of Sunday's.... I know, very
bad of me, but hey! I'm writing something now, so give me a break!!!
I’ve joined a photography club somewhere during 2011 and since learned a lot
about wild life photography (still not my forte but working on it and improving
on it every time!! OK, now I’m just sounding vain, but hey, at least I’m enjoying
every moment of it!!)
So when my husband asked me what I wanted to do for the big
30 I told him lets go the Kruger National Park with the parents, BUT I want to
leave so we can have Champagne (OK, JC Le Roux sparkling wine) breakfast in the
park on my birthday. We left 14 June at 05:00...or that was the plan at
least! As usual, we left about an half hour late, and since we’re driving the scenic route via Long Tom Pass we only
got to our campsite in Letabah with about 15 minutes to spare before the gate
closed.We literally have driven the WHOLE day to get to the Kruger Park!
Excited about the 10days in the park and what we will see we’ve
set up camp. 4 tents for 3 couples… the one supposedly the “office tent” became
the “storage tent” after we had a monkey raid through the camp (while my mom
was sleeping about 5 feet away from our “kitchen”).
We saw the most amazing things, from baby hyenas, still
black without any spot, to dwarf mongooses. Were spoiled with 6 leopard sightings
in 10 days but yet again NO lions!! (And no seeing the butt of a lion or the
moms mouth on a night drive DOES NOT COUNT as seeing a lion… ). But jealous
about the people who have seen them? OK, I have to confess yes, I am a bit
jealous, but hey, to get leopard 3 out of 4 times since my husband and I
started visiting the park together…
I’m sure I have a lot of people turning green with envy!
Hope you enjoy my humble attempt at wild life photography!
