Week in Pictures: Seize Every Moment

Anyone who has spent days, months, or years traversing the arid landscapes and swamp-like wetlands of Africa will tell you that it all comes down to luck of the draw. Astonishing wildlife moments occur unpredictably and without warning. You might be in the right place at the right time to see a leopard leaping metres into the air to catch a bird in flight, or to watch an elephant tend to its newborn calf, or to witness something as rarely seen as an aardvark. You are the lucky ones! For the rest of us, we learn to seize every moment, to recognise the beauty in the ordinary; because if we spend our lives waiting for that epic shot, we might miss everything in between. This week, for our Friday edition of the Week in Pictures, we are celebrating every moment beautifully captured by our photographers who are out and about capturing the ordinary and making it extraordinary!
