Description

I captured this male ostrich last weekend at the Lion and Rhino Park I went with my brother and sister-in-law for a picnic... That is now after we wiggled ourselves through the very narrow and very low tunnels of the Sterkfontein Caves... (but that's another story) This wildlife park is about 40km from where we live and hosts a great deal of awesome animals... amongst other rhino, lion, wilddogs, sable antelope and many more... This guy was 'showing off' right next to the road just before we left late afternoon. Thank you for stopping by and for your very valued comments and favs on my happy summer flower of last night! Take care. Hugs, Carin xx Do zoom for detail of the ostrich's facial features!!!!

Beautiful shot! The low pov makes him look very formidable, indeed, and such lovely light and beautiful skies! What fun is sounds like you had, Carin! :)

Hi Carin, This is a very remarkable capture of this fine creature, he appears fully content with his photo being taken here, almost enjoying it, it seems!
