Google+ Feature: Derek Evens

Changes in the Google+ algorithm makes it harder and harder to trace posts on our profile down to specific dates, so we decided to change the Google+ blogs to a random feature.

That way - nobody can feel that somebody else was featured in a week where they didn't post, and fairness etc etc.

The random feature will be totally random, and random in it's randomness. It will be purely based on photos shared with the #AFRICANature hashtag that caught our eyes.

This week's featured photo is by +Derek Evens - lovely take on a leopard tortoise drinking water from a puddle in the road in the Kruger National Park.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 18 to 24 May 2015

Our theme for the week of 18 to 24 May on our Facebook Page was #InColdBlood.

It was all about cold-blooded animals (specifically reptiles, amphibians and fish). We asked our community of photographers to show us creative and compelling photos of these animals which are often ignored on platforms such as social media.

We received many great submissions, but this low angle photo of an African Rock Python swallowing an impala whole stole the show a bit. It was taken by Fred von Winckelmann, and you can see more of his work on his WEBSITE.
