Cape Buffalo

In the summer of 2022, I was fortunate enough to get to visit South Africa with my dad. While we were there, we explored Cape Town and went on safari in the nature reserves adjoining Kruger National Park. We saw many incredible animals while we were there, but the Cape Buffalo really stood out to me. Though not considered a typically beautiful animal, the Cape Buffalo has an intimidating, majestic presence about it. It was massive and in some ways kind of ugly on the outside but moved in a calm and dignified way. This particular buffalo was alone, which also stood out to me as they usually travel in herds. It came quite close to our safari vehicle and allowed me to take this photo of the dramatic appearance of its powerful horns and head.

Creative outlets are a way for me to express myself when words aren't enough. They can also be an escape from the real world. When I am creating art I don't have to think about anything except putting my best into whatever I am making.
