| Female Malachite Sunbird : Kirstenbosch Garden, Cape Town |
"No past, no future. Just this vivid early-morning moment of orange bloom and the elegance of a sunbird’s presence." - Vernon Chalmers
A few quick personal images while facilitating my American clients at Kirstenbosch Garden on Friday morning, 26 January 2024.
It was indeed an early-morning privilege to further introduce and share our local fauna and flora with my photography clients from Pennsylvania, United States.
This is not my first students / tourists visit from the US, but it's the 1st-time spending time with any at Kirstenbosch.
I trust to welcome these esteemed tourists back in Cape Town sooner than later.
