Mugsy was so happy having a cuddle with one of her favorite caregivers @suncoastprimatesanctuary ... if that fave doesn’t say love I don’t know what will... . . . #primate #wildlife #wildlife_perfection #sanctuary #familyvacation #macaque #photoofday #photooftheday #monkey #wildlifephotography #palmharbor #florida #ecotourism #ecotourism #primates #natgeowild #travel #travelphotography #natgeo #primatesanctuary #florida #thingstodo #cute #floridalife #canonphotography #travelgram #natgeo (at Suncoast Primate Sanctuary)

Sailing in @sanfrancisco bay should definitely be classified as an extreme sport ... the mist was both incredible AND cold on a midsummers day... Kudos to their navigation skills though, I’d definitely be lost in the mist! . . . . #wonderlust #travelphotography #vacation #instatravel #instago #instagood #travelislife #holiday #photooftheday #fun #citytour #traveltheworld #instapassport #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelgram #extremesports #igtravel #sanfrancisco #sailing #mistyday #beautifuldestinations #wonderlustsanfrancisco #travellife #unbelievable #natgeo #beautifulview #beautifulday #morego @visitcalifornia #lonelyplanet @sanfrancisco.city (at San Francisco, California)

Allow me to introduce you to a new found heaven on earth @traderjoes Dark Chocolate covered Peppermint Joe-Joe’s. I don’t often post food as I’m too busy merrily eating it but I felt it’s only right that I share this little piece of heaven on earth with you this fine Monday. Doing my civic duty and all that... . . #notsharing #allmine #notasalad #christmastime #newhotness #delicious #lunchtime #breakfasttime #cookieheaven #goodtimes #yummmmm #yummy #heavenonearth #omg #givememore #deliciousfood #seriouslydelish #wow #foodlover #luxury #cookieart #hot_shotz #notsohealthy #delicious #yummy #foodstagram #cookiemonster #joejoes #cookies #traderjoes (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

Sometimes Instagram can be so impersonal, random strangers in the night throwing out a like here and there... I’d like to reach out and say hi, I’m a crazy South African who loves travel and wildlife... and I’d like to ask a favor. If you think a shot could’ve been captured or edited differently I won’t be offended or hurt, please say. I am self taught and always willing to learn! . . This was shot at sunset and is unedited. The lighting was surreal with no orange at all! . . . . #sunset #beachvibes #nature #beachlife #photooftheday #instagood #beachsunset #all_sunsets #beach #natgeo #seashore #waves #travelislife #vacation #instatravel #instago #holiday #monochrome #familyvacation #instapassport #instatraveling #stpetefl #madeirabeach #hiddengem #discoverearth #natgeotravel #sundaysunset #florida #naturelovers #vibestpete @canonusa @canon_photos (at Madeira Beach, Florida)

#blackandwhitechallenge 7days, 7photos. No people, no explanations. . I’m a rule breaker. It says no explanations but words come. I grew up in Apartheid South Africa were the rules and government told us that non whites were inferior, not suitable as friends, not suitable as lovers and not suitable for jobs that required intelligence. I was lucky, my family believed differently. Then the government changed and the new thinking pattern was that white people were bad news, evil and should be told to leave. I am fortunate to know that many non whites don’t believe this rhetoric either. I broke the rules. I was a friend to everyone regardless of their race or religion. Souls matter not the outside look of a person. I tell you this not for praise but to remind you that not everything society tells you is right. Think deeper, seek truth. . . #kirstenbosch #beautiful #natgeowild #sculpture #instagood #photooftheday #all_shots #capture #natgeo #blackandwhite #kirstenboschgardens #southafrica #monochrome #southafrican #symbolism #apartheid #travel #alllivesmatter #travelgram #wecare #blackandwhitephotography #ubuntu #getlostnow #wonderlust #canonphotography @canonusa @canon_photos (at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden)

Yesterday I had the opportunity to tour the @suncoastprimatesanctuary in Palm Harbor and got to meet all the wonderful primates and other creatures they have on site. This old girl in her 60s stole my heart though... . . . #primate #wildlife #wildlife_perfection #sanctuary #familyvacation #monkey #photoofday #photooftheday #notpets #wildlifephotography #palmharbor #florida #ecotourism #naturelovers #primates #natgeowild #travel #travelphotography #natgeotravel #primatesanctuary #florida #thingstodo #cute #floridalife #canonphotography #travelgram #natgeo (at Suncoast Primate Sanctuary)

Many many years ago, not saying just how many Incase I date myself, I saw a mini version of the @statueoflibertynyc in @paris and I told myself that one day I will see the big one too. When I finally did it was a surreal moment, standing there and looking at her, all the history and what she is meant to symbolize overwhelming the senses. . . . . #sunset #sky #morego #clouds #photooftheday #instagood #instasky #all_sunsets #skyline #skyporn #sunset_madness #travel #stpete #instatravel #instago #newyork #tourist #instapassport #instatraveling #getlostnow #beautifulnature #statueofliberty #discoverearth #natgeotravel #newyorkcity #naturelovers #nyc #natgeo #sunset_hub #morego (at New York, New York)
