Cats in the Flowers

This march when we went to Etosha we were suprised on several fronts. One of which was the ability to obtain photos of all of the big cats framed by flowers. In the past our trips had always been in September when flowers just aren't there. In March some of the open areas were a riot of color. Granted mostly yellow, but color none the less. It was neat to be able and lucky enough to take photos of all of Etosha big cats in this setting. Hope you enjoy.

Wow Bob I just love these pics. Flowers always add to a photograph don't they. You were very blessed to get all three cats in the flowers and posing so nicely for you.

You have also dispelled a very big myth - that "there are no animals to be seen in summer"! Not only did you get to see the three big cats on multiple occassions but you got to shoot them amongst wildflowers making for some unique images.

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa

"Having a passion for the region itself and having to know about all dynamics, water holes and ideal roads for a period of 6 years - I wish I had this guide on my first trip already!" - Morkel Erasmus, Secunda, South Africa
