Lens-Artists Challenge: Adventure

Posted on July 21, 2026

The theme for this round of the Lens-Artists Challenge is ‘Adventure’. I freely admit that I am not the adventurous sort: no Indiana Jones experiences for me, thank you very much.

When we went on a game drive in the nature reserve on Sir Baniyas Island in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, that was quite adventurous enough for me. Unfortunately, when a giraffe stuck its head right inside the SUV I couldn’t get the shot, but I had better luck with this curious ostrich.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Bird

Posted on October 17, 2017

For Frank’s challenge this week – ‘Bird’ – I need to apologise for re-posting an image I’ve used before. The fact is that I’m away from home for the next couple of weeks or so, and as the technicalities of the cloud are beyond me, I only have access to my WordPress photo library.

Anyway, with that confession out of the way, here’s an ostrich making his feelings felt while we were out on a safari drive a few years ago.
