The Majestic One

This is the view from the aptly named Olifants Camp (translated as 'Elephant Camp') in the Kruger National Park. This fellow was lazily grazing with no stress and all the time in the world.

Inner Beauty

It's what's on the inside that counts, right? I bet this warthog has a really nice personality...

While implementing a new IT system in the Kruger National Park Shops we stayed in the staff village. I went for an early morning walk before work and came across this warthog who eyed me closely before trotting off into the bushes. I think only a mother can love a face like that! :)

One crab... two crabs... HUNDREDS!!

This is the Furry-clawed Crab, one of literally hundreds that I saw today. I went for a walk in the Coombabah Lake Nature Reserve not far from where I live on the Gold Coast. A large area is muddy mangrove swamps where these colourful crabs thrive. At first I only saw one crab as it scurried into a hole in the mud, but after sitting very still for about 7 or 8 minutes all the crabs started coming out of their holes, hundreds of them! I snapped a few pictures and as I got up to leave they all disappeared again within about a second, scurrying back into their hiding places. As you can see, the colours on these little creatures are simply amazing.

Hiding

This colourful crab was camouflaged well on the rock. From where I stood I wasn't sure what it was, so took a shot at full 300mm zoom and after cropping it further a colourful crap appeared.

Hanging Around

I saw this little possum wile walking in Hyde Park in Sydney the other night. Very cute, but I wouldn't want to get too close to those claws!

Stealth Predator

This is another excellent painting done by my dad, Charl Möller, and one that I am proud to own.

Smile!

These three zebras posed beautifully for me as we drove past. I was one of the guys who had to install new computer systems in the tourist souvenir shops all around the Kruger Park. This had the added benefit of game drives between the various sites and I used the opportunity to take a few pictures 'on the way to the office'.
