The world through my lens
After Amboseli and Samburu (see https://blog.lkephotography.com/category/travel/africa/), our trip took us to the Maasai Mara–a national reserve in southwestern Kenya, part of the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. The reserve is not fenced, which means that migration routes...
I don’t really have a theme for this post, just haven’t shared any pictures from around here in a while. So here are some of my favourites from the summer so far. Summer seems...
A few months ago, I got an email from a friend: “I’m planning the moose trip again. Are you interested?”
So in early June, off I went to Algonquin Park, to camp, and canoe, and see moose and so much more.
