Thanks to the hippos:

My photography began during a time of sadness and intense personal loss.Surprisingly, in the midst of heartache, I found myself drawn to the awesome presence of animals and the natural world. Their rhythm, their fun, and the simple joy they express helped me reconnect with life in a way I didn’t expect.Places like Werribee Open Range Zoo (Zoos Victoria) became a space of healing—where small moments of wonder slowly restored a sense of peace, gratitude and perspective.Sharing these moments through Pexels offers me a wider purpose. The idea that moments captured might bring light, happiness or calm to someone else delights me.All content is shared freely, in the hope that it gives you a sense of connection, joy, excitement and renewal.What started with hippos has rippled out to giraffes, rhinos, elephants, Melbourne and beyond.Thankfully, humour and zest for life is renewed and Pexels is helping me take off!
