Facebook Pic of the Week: 29 June to 5 July 2015

We ran an open theme again for this particular week - so indeed #AnythingGoes was the hashtag.

We received some wonderful images, like we do every week, which makes selecting one to feature a tough task.

Dayne Braine shared this wonderful photo of a Greater Flamingo wading through an Etosha waterhole, with some African Elephants in the background. Check out his FACEBOOK PAGE for more of his work!

GooglePlus Pic of the Week: 11 to 17 August 2014

How can we not share a lovely image of a species that needs as much publicity and awareness as it can muster? More than 600 rhinos have been ruthlessly butchered in South Africa this year alone to meet increasing demand from a growing middle- and upper class in Vietnam and China where the horn is used as a status drug and false medicine!

+Derek Evens captured this lovely moment somewhere in Southern Africa - location hidden for a reason obviously! You can see more of his work over on his blog: http://derekevens.wordpress.com/

Thanks again to everyone who is starting to contribute to the AFRICANature theme on G+. Remember to tag your quality African wildlife and landscape photos on G+ with the hashtag #AFRICANature and also tag the +AFRICANature page so we can consider your work for resharing and a possible feature here on the blog.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 12 to 18 May 2014

It's time to look at some stand-out photos from the AFRICANature Facebook Page from last week. There was no specific theme, which always makes for some interesting viewing due to the variety we see in those weeks.

How could we not pick this quirky shot of a Spotted Hyena youngster? The ultra-wide angle perspective makes this come alive. The photographer is Keith Connelly, a wildlife photographer and safari guide based in the Timbavati Game Reserve of South Africa. Check out more of his work: http://500px.com/Keith-Connelly

Facebook Pic of the Week: 14 to 20 April 2014

Well, we're running a tad behind with the weekly pic announcements, but don't fear - we will catch up in no time.

The week of 14 to 20 April 2014 was a week where anything was allowed (no specific theme, thus), and this stellar and eye-dropping photo stood out to us. It was taken by well-known legendary wildlife photographer Daryl Balfour. You can see more of his amazing work on his website: www.darylbalfour.com
