Description

Today something serious - hey, I can be serious too you know, LOL.
The above is actually very close to my heart because it was captured while I was alone in the bush, just the fish eagles overhead, their well known African calls sounding miles around. A lone guinea fowl feather snuggly caught in a tuft of grass.
I saw Rhino, Tsessebe, Sable Antelope, Springbuck, Giraffe and many other wild animals. When it was time to go, I picked up the feather, taking some of the bush with me...
Thank you for your very kind comments and visits to my previous somewhat silly upload.

A very poetic image! You live in South Africa, a land so far from my Sweden as possible. I find it a wonder meeting peple and nature from all corners of the world in this place. I consider myself being a hermit. But despite that I have this meetingplace available from my chair and my computer. It is a wonder, and I am sure it has saved my sanity during the years I have been a member. Early morning reflections from "up north" to a wonderful piece of nature from your country.
