Hunting in Kirstenbosch

Yesterday morning I went on a hunt for images in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. 
Not quite Newlands forest but very close to it.
I want to enter a few photos in their centenary competition. 
This walk was slow and with the intention and feeling of a hunt.

I once met a bow hunter, one of the few who were licensed to do this in South Africa.
He told me to hunt an animal in the wild with bow and arrow you have to get very close. In fact you have to feel, move and smell like it.

My walk was a little bit like this kind of hunt, feeling into and becoming the garden. 
Appreciate what images it wanted to give away to share.
Here are some of them.
