A Sunday Afternoon in Naivasha

About three weeks ago, I got to spend almost an entire day in Naivasha with my lovely wife Gina and several friends. We were at a conservation area near Crescent Island, taking in beauty I hadn’t seen before.

These acacias line the shores of several Rift Valley lakes. Naivasha isn’t an exception.

On a hike to the top of Crescent Island, we looked back and saw Longonot peeking above the acacias.

I usually see pelicans on the ground and in water. It was refreshing to see one perched on a dry acacia.

It was a lovely afternoon spent with friends, just what weekends are made for.
