They do not sow, nor reap, nor gather.

This post was originally published on 7/9/2017.  Updated on 15/10/2018. Birds have that something that is a little more challenging for me as an artist than most subjects.  I am a bird-lover and I guess the main reason why I am attracted to birds, besides their beauty is their happiness!  Painting and photographing birds have filled many...

Slithering Snakes!

Spotted bush snakes (Know the snake )are quite regular visitors to my garden.  I am not a snake lover, but these guys are quite harmless and if I was ever asked what my favorite snake is, which would be an odd question, I would say the spotted bush snake.  These snakes are about a meter long...

Okay, so I am feeling spring silly!

Like I said, I am feeling 'Spring Silly'.  I know I am not the only one, it affects the best of us!  I love spring...I could jump and shout and go on and on and on about this crazy season, but I won't (I bet some are saying, 'thank goodness for that'. BUT, I did...

Macro flowers require a little more focusing and concentration, but I find, determination overcomes all the obstacles associated with macro photography. The Glory Bower,...

Abstract Nature Photography (1)

I am a keen photographer and enjoy photographing nature from unusual angles.  To get pics like this, I usually go into my garden in the late afternoon when the shadows are long. Big-leafed shrubs usually have the best shadows and the colours are accentuated with the play of light, resulting in some really abstract pictures....

‘THINK-OF-IT!’©

I awoke to another quotidian morn To the silence of dawn, With just the chirp of a bulbul, Bringing to mind blessings I oft forget. I sent up my prayers of thanks And rose out of bed.   I put the water on to boil, Looking forward to my brew, Just then I heard the...
