By the waterhole

January 06, 2015  •  Leave a Comment
The site at Ol Pejeta was by a waterhole. A ditch and fence blocked (in theory) access between us and the animals. The appeal of the waterhole to the local wildlife though, was obvious. It was a little harder to get shots this time round because there was no way to get closer to the animals. As a result, most of these shots are cropped to a degree.

Once exams finished I headed off the Napier to visit my parents (and other family there). Sadly my parents are not as well as they used to be.
