Garden Pictures from South Africa

My drab brick and concrete surroundings have been replaced by informal indigenous gardens, leafy trees, and grassy fields. This provides wonderful opportunities to wander around with a camera, photographing the colorful garden birds, flowers, shrubs, and insects.

A Privilege
I'm very much a part-time wildlife photographer who is lucky enough to visit the bush two or three times a year. The rest of the time I'm at home, so the opportunity to take nature pictures in beautiful surroundings is indeed a privilege.
