African Wildlife

White Rhino Calf.

This was taken a looong time ago, but just had to show this to you! Huge cute factor!



After the rains we had loads of flowers out and been my dream to get one of our big male lions walking through it!!! Got it in the end, after months of waiting!!

Re: African Wildlife

Hi Bongo

Excellent captures.

I especially like the 1st shot of the lion. I think it's the DOF that appeals to me, but they're all really nice shots

Re: African Wildlife

Cracking set, again! The Lion shots wonderful, and I really like the Rhino calf.

Even though it is non scary and impressive in size , I just love the Chameleon!!! The composition,the colours, and detail are fantastic.
