My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Pedestrian
~~~~~
When I think of pedestrian I think of people
that I need to give way to if I am driving.
Or something may move at a pedestrian pace…slowly.
In Africa the animals are the pedestrians which
often move at a pedestrian pace.
It is far better to wait for some, such as this rhino,
until they have crossed the road.
Similarly a good idea not to upset
the gentle giants of the land.
Some small impala you think you could bluff…

until, he who never looks comes
bounding out of the scrub
Then there are pedestrians who cause traffic chaos
with their sit down strikes.
This lot even sent out a parking inspector to
make sure we were all doing the right thing.
A post about pedestrians would not be complete
without a zebra crossing image.
Zebras will never die of high blood pressure.
On this day, they even took time out
to gawk at the tourists.

Interesting photos and a clever interpretation of the theme. I particularly like the one of the elephants.

Our guides estimated we sighted 3,000 elephants during that trip. 1,000 alone in the Okavango Delta region. There were elephant families as far as the eye could see.

Steer clear of the elephants!

They are gorgeous creatures…I could never agree with that statement. Sorry. However, they do have their moods. Like the story of an elephant who pull the rear vision mirror off a car dropped it in the open window and kept walking!

Love your Africa photos and had to laugh at your comment that zebras will never die from high blood pressure.

Neither will any others die from high blood pressure. Sadly, a poachers bullet? Yes.

Yes that is sad. Hopefully world opinion will sway them but I guess the game hunters big bucks are more desired.

I hear what you are saying, however, on Facebook a few years ago based on a leopard being worth around SA Rand35 thousand to a hunter, it was suggested that if a R500 bounty, per sighting, were placed on leopards, they would accrue around R80-R90,000 during their lifetime. Makes you think?????
