often when I start feeling sorry for myself, I'll take a drive through the villages along the Zambezi river and see how the woman can smile despite their conditions........I come away transformed and feel blessed!

May the dirty, coal filled Tete dust not cloud our visions of the beauty beyond it all..... Wonderful weekend all!

The beautiful Ilala palms on the banks of the Zambezi. Hope they don't disappear like so many trees and plants in the area!

May we find beauty in unexpected places today, even rusting old Ford's on rubbish piles!

Yip, it's Monday.....and we all have a wonderful week ahead of us....it's all about how we look at things ....may you see colour wherever you go!

"someone's Sunday lunch for the whole family!" Take the time to count your many blessings today.........

Spent a wonderful early morning driving through the villages along the Zambezi! Found so many exciting captures to share with you all! Blessed Saturday friends.

The banks of the Zambezi, always filled with colour, activity and LIFE...

Slow down so that you may fully consider your joys, your sorrows, and the beauty of ordinary days. Enjoy your weekend, friends. Emily, Chatting at the sky.........

experimenting with my interesting but "not straightforward" 50mm lens!

"Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated" Confucius

spent a wonderful day with a like minded photographer friend, traipsing through the dusty Tete surrounds finding beauty!

May we all take the time to fine "awestruck wonder" in the world around us!

May you too find humour in the little things this friday!!

I had the privilege of spending the morning with a professional photographer from the USA. He had a lot of patience in teaching me all about the MANUAL setting.......fstops, shutter speeds and ISO! Yip, I will no longer use the Auto! It just doesnt compare! The shoe seller.......

My first photograph taken with my new camera and 50mm lens......... cant wait to go exploring!!

I am so overjoyed to share my new purchase today . Blessed indeed!

These trips on Moz/Zim roads, crossing hectic borders, are never easy! Looking for gorgeous highlights along the way , make up for all the chaos!
