Macateer, that camp where I spent time sketching in the western delta ~

jotting down impressions,

trying to paint the bush as darkness fell,

...sketching vignettes of

horses and wildlife

Sketches from the Okavango Delta ~

I first went to the Okavango to ride horses with PJ and Barney Bestelink.

It is wonderful being on a horse as you can cross both the water-meadows and dry islands.

I then took friends on to stay at Tchau, a camp on the Borro River run by Jez Lye.

The camp looked out over the flood plain.

We slept in large tents on an island, standing in the shade of Jackalberry trees.
