Dissaster

Last nights attempt to paint a silouette was a dissaster.

Mexican Pelicans

In March we took a trip to Mexico with my sister and our families.

On a boat trip to The mangroves near Mazatlan we had a pelican join us on the boat.

Here is my impression.

Hyena Pan

Our company has secured the rights to a private camp in Botswana on the border of Moremi Game Reserve.

Our first permanent camp.

Painting

I've been painting recently, after about 10 years and it was not exactly like I was any good 10 years ago either.

It is however relaxing and stimulating and in this stressful period of our lives it helps me to cope.

Hope you enjoy them.
