  1. Tish these are wonderful photos of which ways! I think I my favorite is Stone Town. But it really is hard to decide. Thanks ever so much for playing along!

    1. I’ve also been enjoying your heron posts. Unfortunately for some reason, I’ve lost my ‘comment’ facility. Hoping the WordPress community will have the answer.
      It was great to see the in-nest video of the fledging herons.

      1. You’re welcome, glad you’re enjoying the herons. FWIW, I found a comment from you in my spam folder (in WordPress “comments,” and I marked it as “not spam.” Hope that helps!

    1. What a very nice thing to say, Frizz. I like being a bridge, now you mention it. It was why I started writing my stories about Africa – the place where we probably all began several million years ago. We need to find ways to come back together again – at least in good fellowship and trying to understand each other. That’s what’s so wonderful about blogging – the people you meet.

  2. Dear Tish Farrell,

    I’ve been wanting to contact you to say how much I loved and was moved by your story Flight, by far and away the best on the Bath comp, whatever got into the judge’s hair. Your photos are fabulous. Like you I am a fan of Africa, and you capture my own experience on safari in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar perfectly.
    Best wishes
    Jenifer

    1. Hello Jenifer, thank you so much for your very encouraging comments, and thank you too for taking the time to read both my story and my blog. It’s strange you should write today, I’ve just been reading Flight aloud, practising for a reading at my local bookshop on Friday. A bit nerve-racking actually. If you’ve travelled in Africa, then you’ve surely got the bug that never leaves you. It gets right under your skin and into your cerebral cortex. Thanks for writing.
