Christmas greeting.

Life has been a tad hectic and I am now back in Zimbabwe for Christmas..... not had my camera around and it feels strange. Still I would like to wish you all out there - miles away and close by - a happy and wonderful Christmas. May you all be with f... 

I have been on this site for over a year and wonder if it is worth continuing... not sold a thing... a post card would have been good! How is everyone else doing? It is that I live so far away or that I have not taken anything of interest. I know the...

Everyone should dance. This girl was embarressed but she will not forget the dance. It lightens the soul. Who cares if you cant dance with rythem - it is over rated....... just dance.  

Who sells?

August 14th, 2012

There are soooooooooooooo many folk on this site with wonderful pictues - I know some folk sell but what do you have to do to get noticed? Thre are so many who wish for a sale and get dispondent. What are people looking for or is it the sign of the ... 

Why blog???

August 14th, 2012

I see that we all blog with the hope that someone answers our mail..... on looking at things few folk bother so why do we bother?? Maybe we have nothing interesting to say - maybe cause it is all the same - art and how, when and why? Who knows??? 

Camp David

August 14th, 2012

Taking this picture out the window as I travelled past....I thought mmmmm wonder what the president would think of this?  

Visibility

August 7th, 2012

The road was on the edge of a hill, windy and dangerous at the best of times with donkeys, goats and the generaly public walking along the edge. We drove carefully through the mist which was very thicjk and I took this picture through the windscreen ... 

Everyday goes past and I feel that a good laugh or giggle should be the order of the day. It lifts the heart. Yesterday my husband and I were sitting on the verandah of our hotel here in Mombassa when the waitress approached us and asked what we wo... 

African Condom

August 6th, 2012

When being taken around the Old Town of Mombassa we were in the market when our guide - "The King" showed up these straw cones and quite happily told us - these are African Condoms and then bust out laughing...... not to worry men they are really to... 

Feeding the Rhino

July 26th, 2012

Feeding the White Rhino was so much fun. His lip extends and out comes this funny knobble at the end. It is smooth and pink to touch and the mouth is huge. This is my daughter having fun doing the feeding. We literally threw the food pellets into his... 

Happiness

July 25th, 2012

While taking photo's at a school here in Nairobi I was bombarded by happy children all wanting to see the pictures I took of them but most of all they wanted to touch, stroke and pull my hair. They were laughing at the colour (natural) and the softne... 

Trust

July 20th, 2012

As I was having breakfast I watched men walking up and down scafolding around the building they were creating. What trust they had in their thin poles which they were using and had put together with nails and string. They were cheerful and happy for... 

Beware hippo

May 31st, 2012

We were at Crater Lake in Kenya seeing the amazing volcanic crater filled with water. Floating on the water in the middle of this lake was a restaurant which moved from side to side depending on the wind. Standing on the platform I notice a sign subm... 

Pelicans so huge

May 29th, 2012

The big white pelicans are really magnificent. These we found along the shores at Lake Niavasha. They did not like us to come too close but were happy for us to keep our distance and watch. The noise was quite a sound but the smell of fish was very p... 

Pink Flamingo

May 29th, 2012

OMG what a site to behold. Thousands of Pink Flamingos all milling around - making noise and just being natural in their own hibitat. Although we were not allowed too close we were able to watch for as long as we wanted. They really were as pink as t... 

Beef hanging.

May 20th, 2012

Anyone for fresh meat? Here at the market one can just point to a piece of meat and bobs your uncle - it is sliced off for you. What do you think? This market is certainly not for ladies in high heels or a queazy stomach although right next door to... 

Yesterday I was told that the Sigma lenses were absolutley useless in hot countries. That they really were not a good lenses anyway. Now I have used mine for nearly 3 years and find it works just fine with my Cannon. Maybe when one gets older and w... 

Old Scales

May 20th, 2012

The old veg market...... previous blog. These are the scales that all the fruit and vegatables we weighed on. Took me back to when my Grandmother used one... what fun.  

Open Market - Kenya

May 20th, 2012

Here we are in Kenya and ready to experience it all. We were told that fresh fruit and veggies were best bought from the local market. We headed to the destination so find parking a near impossibility and due to rain and all it was muddy and slippe... 

National TV Contest

May 14th, 2012

We keep our fingers crossed and hope that more and a few folk like the pictures we have entered into this competion.....250 votes is a lot of votes...please take a peek at my 3 photos and vote, vote vote..... please.... thank you you will make my day... 

Being fairly new to all this - only done a little blogging and wonder how good one has to be to be heard or seen. I love to take photo's and try everything where ever I am - after all I am there in the moment. Once I start to click it never ends. I l... 

Stop signs and lines.

May 10th, 2012

Coming to the T junction I look for the stop sign - oh there it is behind a the long grass and mostly out of site. One edges forward in the hope that another passing vehicle does not take you out. Most of the time there are no signs or road signs whi... 

Pot Holes - challenge.

April 26th, 2012

Everyday we drive with the wonder of whether we are going to have to change a tyre. Something we all have to know how to do. The roads deteriorate on a daily basis and the pot holes leave little to be desired. We dodge them everyday and hope not to c... 

The wild and me.

April 23rd, 2012

Oh what a wonderful place the wild is.... here in Africa - all at our finger tips yet we dont use as we should. Here I was so close to an Elephant that I could touch it if I tried - not that I dared. Playing hide and pop up with the hippo. It tooks a... 

Sold

March 25th, 2012

Wow - just sold one of my favourite photos and the double pleasure is that the picture is one that donates back to the community. It looked lovely framed and hanging in the decor gallery. So thank you who ever bought it. All pictures that have been t...

Birthdays are over and Valentine - over for another year. Hope you were all good and celebrated - no matter it is a good time to have a glass of wine even if you think it is commercial racket.... who cares! Friends, family, lovers are all good to sha... 

Winner

February 9th, 2012

Due to the inconsistent electricity we have here in Zim I dont always get onto my comp every day.... sad as that is at times. Yesterday I found out that I have won a contest. Yeah I am so chuffed. Please have a look at it - my horse called "proud str... 

Making Files

January 28th, 2012

Going through all my photo's and making files is a long and frustrating job. As I go through each one I get more critical and think that they are not that good - so I go back and start to delete. What really is good - what do people really want - and...

January 15th, 2012

Home at last with many images to edit one way or the other. Cant say I am please with the results. Anyone out there who has some advice on how to take a good photo with dull weather, rain, overcast, cold and at night - please share in plain english. ... 

NYC - Christmas - New Year

January 4th, 2012

This is my first "blog" as my family say I am surely technically challanged - don't twitter either as I father used to say "twit" often when refering to silly folk..... Never mind that, I am going to give this a try. I arrived in The big Apple for Ch...
