Two of my BW submissions
for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge last week…
Not a great deal of difference…
…between bW and colour.

Hope you enjoyed.

A change from pets today.
African provided us with many pairs.
First, a pair of zebra.
This pair of yellow hornbills welcomed us
and inspected our vehicle
as park entry was being organised.

I hope this red and white dahlia petals are… 
contrasting.

Couldn’t think of colours which contrast more
than these.

Blacks and Whites today.
I probably have no taste in art at all but l like this
Spiderweb in Canola Crop image…
particularly the BW version.
Too busy? Or about right?
Another I like.
Camellia
There must be another name for
Red Hot Poker,
but it’s too hot to search.
This looks so refreshing.

Apologies for the delay with my post,
it has been one of those weeks.
I was also procrastinating about how to approach this challenge
and eventually decided to post some images
from our two safaris in Africa, as I have
posted some of the BW shots on Gurushots
during the week for some fun.
All the hornbills have a stern look about them;
a bit like my Grade 2 teacher used to look.
Like her they look stern but are fun to have around.
The African Starling…a far prettier bird than our variety.
Thirsty elephant in Botswana’s Okavango Delta.
Also still at a Delta camp this
Lilac Breasted Roller posed for us.
Back in South Africa two 6-8 week old lion cubs came
to within twenty-feet of our vehicle.
It was the quietest, but noisiest (cameras)
twenty minutes of our trip.
If you are wondering, mum was, she was about 50 metres away…
…no doubt relieved that her tail was no longer
the centre of their attention.
Why Africa?
At the moment we are in the final stages
of organising another safari for 2020.
