African Sacred Ibis Enjoys Walking Inside @SANParksKNP #SA #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends, 

Kruger National Park is filled with wildlife that you need to identify using the various birds and animal manuals available at the stores' insides the park. I had the pleasure of going with the guy who loves wildlife to the core and together we roamed from the start of the day till the time gates close of the rest camps. 

Time management is of supreme importance if you are inside the park and you need to predefine where you want to go and what you want to do in Kruger National Park. 

There are so many loops - gravel and dirt roads which will take you off the main road and that's where plenty of waterbodies lies and wherever there is a waterbody you can easily see some of the group of animals arriving at different times of the day. 

The speed limit of your car is also important as you will be fined heavily around R2500 if you cross the speed limit of 50km/h on the tar road and gravel its 40km/h. There are rangers throughout the park hiding behind the trees, caves and on famous routes and straight roads. 

African Sacred Ibis is one of the beautiful birds found in Africa and you will spot the same inside the Kruger National Park. We found this bird close to the Mopani Rest Camp gates once we came out of the same and traveled around the Tropic of Capricorn loop.

If you are interested in Bird Photography, you shall take the biggest possible lens giving you enough zoom as these birds don't come close to the vehicles. If you have a hybrid camera with a 40x zoom that will be great for the Kruger National Park. 

I really loved the black and white color combination of the birds' feathers and it really made it glow in the park filled with small flowers on the grass.

Sawubona!

Photo Walk - Macaw @MontecasinoZA #BirdGardens @TsogoSun #Jozi

Hi Guys, 

MonteCasino in Johannesburg is an entertainment powerhouse with so many fun activities to do for all age groups. They have a Bird Garden along with small Zoo enclosure having Snakes, Monkeys and many other reptiles. Here are some pictures of the Macaw Bird which catches everyone's attention. 

These Macaw birds looks so cute and colorful that you immediately fall in love with them.  

Montecasino Bird Gardens allows you to take photographs of all of the birds without any extra charges towards entry fees for camera etc. 

 They looks like Parrots but a lot bigger in size. 

It's a must visit whenever you have 1-2 hours to spend in Johannesburg especially when you are in Montecasino. 

I have been there twice and really love going there with my family for some wonderful moments as kids have a huge play area near the Cafe inside the Bird Gardens. All photos are taken by me using my Nikon D7000 with Sigma 70-300mm lens. 

Cheers!!!

Photo Walk - Rest is a necessity

Hello People,


Chacha Nehru have said, that AARAM HARAAM HAI but in this busy and stressful lives, we all do need rest for some time. We feel stressed due to thousands of expectations at office and home so we all need a while to relax and refresh ourselves.


























Though sometimes we keep running until someone pushes us out for a weekend trip or some relaxing time near the river or mountains. The time spent with a good company really refreshes us.

And when some more friends joins in our journey it's a lot of fun and laughter that really builds moments to cherish forever.We might have a different view point in lives but rest is a necessity for one and all.

We might just be having sun bath but the relaxation the exercise provides is amazing. I feel happy and refreshed whenever I do so myself and looks forward to bring all the energy gained into my office and personal space to stay on the top of things once again.

Cheers!!! And relax for a while...

Photo Walk - Swans in the river

Hi Guys,

A post on some of the good looking birds which really makes the river side look beautiful.

Always moving it's feet under the water and still looking calm from above, has been the behavior and attitude as told in several motivational books.

Staying together is the key if you watch closely these birds which we also want in our lives.

Here is one breaking away the boundaries and barriers made by the mind and coming out of its comfort zone...

I hope you will also break free of all the bad habits that's stopping you right now and bring out the best in you. 

Cheers!!!

Moments of Silence

Hi Guys,

Silence is required for a lot of moments, before a moment and after a moment and it speak volumes about us. It helps us find the right points of our lives, where we feel stressed out. It brings in fresh thoughts where we find that power to overtake whatever lies ahead of us. It’s also about the time where we seek to enjoy our own company. These moments or time spent will remain cherished in our memories forever and ever.

We all need some moments of silence before we barge on to something that requires our full focus and attention. The bird seems to be focusing on its next seed of grain for its survival. We all need to survive in this big corporate world and with all the noises around us, we do need to catch on some of these moments of silence to keep ourselves ready for the attack. I am on it guys…don't disturb :-)

Cheers!!!
