A 2020 story. 💫 A new year. A new decade. I’d planned to create & upload a video on New Year’s Day about authenticity, but I didn’t even start editing it - instead I watched Christmas films & played card games with my family. I was then going to upload a simple image & write about enjoying the beauty of life, but I didn’t even have my phone & scribbled the caption on a piece of paper & then forgot about it. When I lived in Africa, I was told about the power of our intuition & how our modern-day reliance on social media & technology is blocking our ability to understand situations that occur around us for what they actually are. Instead, we have become distracted by believing that people’s best lives on social media are their entire lives, & our world has become a little confusing - often we have to disconnect to reconnect. This Christmas I was reminded of this after having an extra special time with my family, away from distraction, in the present moment. This year, this decade, I want to do things differently, & not be steered by what I think people want to see. 🌠So here’s so uploading content that inspires and motivates me, rather than what Instagram’s algorithm favours 🌠To nurturing friendships that mean the most to me 🌠To continuing to teach myself to paint & channel that creativity into every aspect of my day 🌠To setting aside time to continue with my dream therapy diploma 🌠To honouring the moon cycles & using them to help me understand what I want from life 🌠To saying yes to more opportunities 🌠To staying in the present moment 🌠To spreading love, positivity & calmness This image reminds me that, often, the closer we look & the more time we spend trying to understand things, the more beauty we start to see. & no matter how dark things sometimes seem, the sun will always set & when it rises, we can begin again. What’s your focus for 2020? 💫 #2020 #newyear #accordingtojess
I'm in the running for a Travel Blogging competition - fingers crossed for the judging in January! 🤞 If you want to read my article about one of my favourite nights in Africa, head to the link in my bio 🐾 I hope you're all having a wonderful #BoxingDay - it's the final #NewMoon of the decade which is the perfect time to zone in and set your intentions for 2020! 🌠 wish well and wish strong, it's going to be a brilliant superyear! 💫 #intentions #africa #southafrica #natureblogger #travelblogger #safari
Dinosaur or vulture chick? 🦅 Through photography this year, most of all I've learnt to have extreme patience - for unexpected events, the frustration of a whole load of foliage in the way of newborn animals, testing my abs & quads when standing in the most awkward positions for what felt like hours, and situations changing in the blink of an eye. 🦅🍃 🌠 Grateful for 2019 & every year for always teaching me to grow. #VulturesAccordingToJess #vulture #vulpro #growth #newyear #2019 #naturecapture #wildlifephotographer
Gentle souls, soothing presence, considerate beings, family values, unbreakable bonds, protective spirits. All the reasons why I adore elephants 🐘 #elephants #mammals #wildlife #animals #nature #naturecapture #natureblogger #africanwildlife
The beak of the lappet-faced vulture is on POINT! 🦅 This species of vulture is the only one whose beak can tear through skin, meaning they can open up a carcass that doesn't have any open wounds. This also means that other vulture species often have to mill around waiting for these kings to arrive before the feast can begin! #VulturesAccordingToJess #vultures #vulpro #birdsofprey #birdsofsouthafrica #wildlifephotographer #canoneos
Is it just me or does this lizard look like he's smiling? In my mind he's thinking about what he's going to have for lunch, when the next full moon is and what the Earth is going to look like in the next 5 years. 😂🌠🌙 What would you say he's thinking about with that smirking expression? #lizard #naturecapture #wildlifephotography #brazil #buzios #canonphotography
