    I really enjoyed the session. despite the freezing weather, we managed to get out into the arboretum and put into practice the instructions we had been given. Practical learning has always been more suitable for me and I found the teaching methods met my needs. The informal style helped me to feel less incompetent and the small group meant that we all got the opportunity to have our questions answered by the teacher. The friendly group made it fun and enjoyable even if it took a while to thaw out afterwards!

    In January 25, I went on my first safari. The wildlife we saw, exceeded my expectations. We tracked this leopard, knicknamed Tom, the tatty eared leopard, for several miles. Eventually he stopped for a rest on the branch of a tree, just a few hundred yards away from our truck. I took numerous shots, but felt that I had really connected with him in this shot. It felt as though he was looking directly into my eyes!

    This photo was taken on my first safari, in the bush in Botswana. We'd tracked this leopard for several miles and thought we'd lost it, when suddenly we turned a corner and there it was, just climbing up into a tree to rest and watch out for feeding opportunities. Our truck parked pretty close by. When I took this shot, I felt as though the leopard was looking directly at me. A slightly scary but wonderful moment!

I hired a model I had seen and had come to do pool shots with another Photographer and he suggested I hire her and conceptualize the shoot. I?m not a professional and had no props but I bought some fabric and I used my leaf blower to make that effect.

    Thank you for considering my photo for Photo of the Week! I have a number of bottle brush trees in my back yard, and birds love the blossoms when they bloom in the Spring. I usually see numerous hummingbirds and sparrows, but I saw this gorgeous bird one afternoon resting in the branches. I was able to get a couple of shots off before it flew away.
