Deep Emotional Desire To Walk In Nature
Meaning: Landscapes and lifestyle associated with the South African grasslands, often called the "veld".
Stories written, songs, poetry all sweep one of their feet when you know you belong, no one escapes the deep desire to enjoy the freedom under blue skies.
Photography to entice those who would love to visit, many problems in the land, with correct good planning anything is achievable. Some walk jungles, jump off cliffs, high dive for me the freedom is called the veld where every sense is aware of danger although often one will not hear it coming, safer in the veld than in the cities with humans.
The Hoppers
Butterflies on Lily Pad Leaf
With some of the flora below it is evident why so much flourishes in this dense forested region.
One thing attracts the next, all live in harmony in nature, although it too can be cruel.
Cats in the region not always sighted, leopard is plentiful yet to see one!
Countryside ever changing, with seasons or around the next corner the region has so much on offer.
What most arrive in the hope of seeing are the big five, they are here we have come across over the years but on this one visit I'll share some not yet published previously I hope.
The Ladies
Telltale Bum Ring of the Water buck
Zebra Out and About with Hitchhiker onboard
Wildebeest On Guard
Buffalo after a well deserved mud bath
Hippo finding a spot to enjoy a sunbathing session
There are many things out there that could do you harm, eyes alert, ears listening at all times watch where you walk, do so safely....
Lichen clings to trees, some crazy hairdo, over developed staghorns...
Mushrooms new life everywhere, creation is a powerful tool in nature.
With estuary to explore from the water, or walks on the beach one has to be aware of this being wild, animals live here.
With all the awful things taking place, this is where my heart and soul yearn to be for awhile, so took an afternoon off to share exactly where I would love to be right now!
