Published,...... Finally ! ! !
Lee's first edition of his field guide "The Bushveld" came out a few years ago and concerntrated mainly on the Waterberg region of South Africa's Limpopo Province.
Since then he has brought out another field guide on the Okavongo and Rock Paintings in Southern Africa. This 2nd edition on the Bushveld includes the Kruger and surrounding Lowveld area, well known to many safari enthusiasts.
Lee approached me early last year looking for new images for the new edition and hopefully some of the less seen critters with which a was proud to oblige. There are a number of my images that were used, but my images of a Cape Grass Bird and Aardvark have to be my favourite.

Sundew chowdown !
I decided to get a bit of Macro done and focused my lens towards my pet Sundew. These little guys are part of the family Drosera, comprising some 194 species in the carnivorous plant family.
Unlike the Venus Flytrap, which has a trigger mechanism that helps trap their 'prey', the Sundews have leaves that are covered with tiny hairs, each with a drop of mucilage at their tip. This mucilage is where the Sundew gets its name, as it looks like dew drops have settled on the plant.
This sticky Mucilage helps trap the insect to the plant and aids with the digestive process as it is full of enzymes that break down the food source for the plant. The resulting nutrient soup is then absorbed by the leaf.
Very, very cool plants.

Just like "The Silence of the Lambs"! ! !
Those of you who have seen the movie "Silence Of The Lambs", may remember this little fellow. This is the Death's Head Hawk Moth (A. lachesis.). They are often seen raiding Honey Bee hives for their honey.
The moth has an unfortunate reputation, and is associated with folk tales involved in evil and the supernatural.
Seen these guys at Safari Lodges before, but didn't think I would come across one at the coast. Very, very cool to see.

Please checkout the survey below and answer the questions when you can.Thanks for the support.
Click here to take survey
Below was an image I captured in Cape town at the V&A waterfront of a ship in a dry dock. The contrast in Black and White came out better then it did in color. Might just hang this up on my wall!

Hout Bay Night Skies.
Last night, I had the opportunity to create some really interesting images with StarstaX, which is a great multi-image stacking programme free off the net and very easy to use. I had at my disposal a platter of texture and color as I was shooting from a bouldered beach at sunset and to top it off we had a couple of guests staying with us at Tintswalo Atlantic who just got engaged at the time of the photo, so I thought I would add them to my "platter".
This image was created with 240 images @ 12 sec. each. Then layered in StarstaX and finally edited in Photoshop. Let me know what you think.
