I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people! I am back after a break. Thanks for still being here, if you are! Missed you! xxx

I have never particularly liked zebras, Nancy, but the photo really got to me. I think it is my best so far. They are very attractive, but my experience with them in other situations, they can be quite a pest, ruined by people feeding them.

hAHAHA, Col! The zebras look like they are going to scrum or wrestle, especially the back one leaning right into the other.
The baby giraffe was actually with the adult with the lips, but I couldn’t get a shot of them together. Took 2 and in both the baby had a headless neck, lol.

Very nice photos and I can see you are enjoying your new camera. Thank you for visiting my blog. I left you a comment that might be useful. Also, since you are shooting animals at a reserve, I have a post at GWGT, http://gardenwalkgardentalk.com/2012/09/22/how-to-photograph-zoo-animals-its-not-about-looking-cute/

Yes you do and thank you. I hope my posts will help and not be too technical for you to understand since you are relatively new to your camera.

Yes, I love mother and child photo’s of animals. I saw dear little baby warthogs but they were too quick for me to photograph. I was so disappointed – they have lovely tight little curly tails.

It is good to see the young ones thriving, at least that means they are procreating and will continue to survive as long as the poachers are held at bay..
