Over a month ago, a dear friend asked me if we could go for a boat cruise together and I agreed. At the beginning of the week we were supposed to go for the cruise, I felt unwell but at first I just assumed that it was an inevitable case of flu but I wasn’tContinue reading “BOATCRUISING TO MOREMI”

And one morning, I took my children and my helper along, to the river not too far from our house. I was hoping to find some aquatic birds,particularly the Pied Kingfisher. At some far distance, I spotted a Great Egret and when we moved closer, it flew even further away. After some time, I realisedContinue reading “THE DRAGONFLIES SERIES”

For so many years, I had a fascination with a picture I once saw which I called “The Last Drop”. I can’t even remember what happened to its printed image I had downloaded. I just remember that I had it in my space, pinned to a notice board in the tiny offices I have occupiedContinue reading “EXPERIMENTING WITH WATERDROPS- Positive ripples of the last drop.”

Photography has become such a great escape from most of my life’s hurdles. On one of the mornings when I was preparing for my exams, I kept losing focus and decided to take my camera and go for a drive to a bridge not too far from where I stay. The morning light was stillContinue reading “GREAT EGRETS & GREY HERONS OF KUNYERE”

The more pictures I take, the more gratitude I feel. I am becoming more and more aware of the details in the environment and that fulfills my heart. I have seen this plant for over 2 years and ignored it, until yesterday as I was sitting and waiting to take pictures of the birds inContinue reading “SOMETIMES IT’S THE SIMPLE DETAILS OF THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE IGNORE”

About 2 years ago, I asked a colleague if I could use her garden for my maternity photoshoot. We rushed there because the sun was about to go down and at the time I didn’t get what my photographer Isaac Marumo’s hurry was all about. The pictures came out beautifully. And a few weeks ago,Continue reading “GRATITUDE POST”

Sometimes we face up to God and silently pray for atleast one single blessing, one chance, one opportunity for atleast one door to open. And when we least expect it, our prayers get answered in multiple folds. I took a chance in 2020 and entered the first-ever Botswana Photography Awards and my submission of theContinue reading “DOMINO EFFECT- To Mashatu”

If I could, I would go to the bush every weekend, to ground myself, to heal the pains of the week and rejuvenate my mind. After the long year that brought us a pandemic that no one ever imagined could hold us hostage, I owed it to myself to take one last trip to MoremiContinue reading “Last trip of 2020”

I am part of an amazing team at work and they have made my trips memorable. I have always wished to get out there and experience life but there was always a reason that prevented me from pursuing that, the lack of money, pregnancy, motherhood, studying and whatever else that placed itself on the topContinue reading “At the Chobe National Park”

In September 2020, I drove through the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park and saw an eagle on one of the trees. I had to make a u-turn and capture it. I got out of the car, camera held tight and heart beating fast. I remember how I said silent prayers for the eagle to not moveContinue reading “The Eagle Mode”
