ZEBRAS
1CROSSING
Earlier this year,
I went on safari
to Kenya for 10
days. While on
an evening game
drive through the
savanna of the
Maasai Mara, I
came across a
dazzle of common
zebras. When
one of the equids
starting walking,
three others
followed it in an
orderly line and I
took this shot.

ALL ABOARD
2My wife and I had wanted to visit Africa for over 30
years, but hadn’t been able to do so until last year. In
September, we travelled to Kenya and went on our first
safari. It was a fantastic experience seeing the animals
roaming free over the thousands of acres.We saw a
variety of wildlife, including this light-hearted moment
when a lilac-breasted roller (the national bird of Kenya)
hitched a lift on the back of a rhino!

MISTY MOUNTAINS
3While on a trip to New Zealand’s
South Island I encountered six alpine
parrots in Arthur’s Pass National Park.
On this particular morning, the keas
were nearly swallowed by the fog. The
adults cleaned their plumage while
the juveniles played tug of war with a
wooden stick. The birds are known to
be attracted to people when they enter
their mountainous habitat and didn’t
seem to mind me sitting there, watching
them for nearly two hours. I’m glad I got
to capture the mystical moment.
