Touched with gold by the late afternoon sun.
We took a short but enjoyable drive to the game reserve.
Sightings included Buffalo, White Rhino and numerous beautiful birds:
Natal Francolin, Southern Boubou, Emerald Spotted Dove, Burchells Coucal & Hoopoe.
Unfortunately it gets dark so suddenly after the sun dips behind the mountains that we headed home
within an hour and a half. It is such a blessing to live so close to the game reserve.....

    That is such a fab slice of life in the wild...I love giraffes, the seem so graceful but also gangly as well (?)...I love the light on them too.

    Spectacular shot! The contrasting blue sky accentuates their sleek orange-brown necks and bodies, making them seem even more elegant than they are!
