Thirsty Zebra

Morning walks at the Farm House Lodge in the Louis Trichardt area of South Africa create opportunities to see nature upclose. I sat quietly on a nearby log as the zebra carefully sipped water while keeping a watchful eye on me.

I'm a retired educator who loves to experience culture around the world. I still expose youth to community service & educational excursions as much as possible. I often take pictures of the students & create posters to reflect on their experience. My recent trip to South Africa was amazing!
