Tranquillity by the jetty
A calm morning on the Sundays River with one of the jetties at Cannonville. Some people would prefer to sit there with a fishing rod or a book. I like the company of my camera.

Egret nesting ground
Ornithologists, or just plain bird lovers for those who don't know the big word, visiting the town of Montagu in the Western Cape gets drawn to the Leidam like a mouse to cheese. For the last two years we spent a week in Montagu during our summer holiday and during both visits I spent some time just watching the birds in the trees around the dam. The Leidam was originally built to supply water to the town via canals with each…

Thor’s afternoon snooze
Thor, the first white lion to be born at Seaview Predator Park, taking an afternoon nap. He had absolutely no interest in the paparazzi on this side of the fence.

Giraffe up and down
Being tall isn't always that easy. Sometimes those long legs need a rest as well. You won't easily see giraffes sitting down where there are lions in the area. That's because they are all legs when they get up and can easily be taken off guard. Luckily for this one she lives in the Seaview Preditor Park and the lions here are in seperate enclosures.

Watching elephants
This past week, ending today, has been South African National Parks week. The whole idea behind the week is to encourage South Africans to support and visit our National Parks more. During the week entrance to the parks are free to South African citizens. I got to go to Addo twice this week, first with a group of hotel frontline staff and again yesterday with a group of old folk from the Malabar Home of the Aged. Addo was buzzing…

Aloe trident
Aloes are amongst my favorite flowers, specially because they bloom in winter, so I'm always a bit sad at this time of the year when the flowers start to wilt and disappear.

Shrike at the Donkin
As you all know, Port Elizabeth Daily Photo isn't just always about places and historic sites around the city. Far from it actually. Walking around the Donkin Reserve the other day I snapped this pic of a fiscal shrike sitting on top of an aloe. I wonder what he had his eye on at this moment. Perhaps a little lizard scampering away in the nearby rock garden?

Mock charge
On a recent visit to Kuzuko Lodge in the greater Addo Elephant National Park we had some amazing sightings. The afternoon game drive started with a close up sighting of their two male lions before we encountered a herd of elephants in a valley close to the lodge. The matriarch put up a spectacular mock charge what with flapping ears, stamping of feet and the shaking of a poor little bush. Unfortunately I didn't have me camera at the ready and missed…

Beware: Bumpy Road, Remove Dentures
I wonder how many people drive down (or up) Villiers Road in Walmer every day without ever noticing this sign painted on a log next to the road. I for one never saw it until I was taken there in search of a geocache recently. The bumpy road it refers to leads to the Walmer Woods driving range.
