This Morning In South Africa

The animals are difficult to see and the density of the populations of grass eaters is very low right now... it is the dry season.

My favorite wildlife photographer, Nicolas Devos, is back in South Africa. This morning I was delighted to open four incredible new photographs from the field... images of lions, meerkats, and this one which I chose to feature here at The Intersection. It captures an ephemeral moment at the water's edge leaving me nostalgic to return to the magnificent country I visited this week last year.

Head over to Correlations to see a gorgeous big cat from the field!
