The Kalahari Scrub-Robin was putting on a show,
so I decided to capture some of it.
After careful focussing, I pushed the shutter.
When I inspected the photo a shadow and legs
was all I had captured

The Horned Dungbeetle can pull up to 1141 times
its own body weight which is the equivalent of
an average man lifting two fully-laden
18-wheeler trucks.
Baby Elephant is the one that gets me smiling.
It was definitely telling us where to go
with its newfound trunk control.
Our resident New Holland Honeyeater mum (I think) was
giving me a right telling off when I captured this image.
Since then, and more likely,
I think she may have been talking
to wayward offspring.
This little one is our adored granddaughter.
She only has around nine weeks before
she will have to share the limelight with a sibling.
Another 8 weeks thereafter she will
have a cousin…all being well in both camps.

sequestered
(of a place) isolated and hidden away.

I am going to argue that we were sequestered…
…on Botswana’s
Lekhubu IsLand…
…the night we camped there.
It was certainly isolated…
…and whilst to exactly hidden away,
it certainly took a while to find it.

emerging
becoming apparent or prominent.

The sun appears to be
emerging from the earth or sea,
depending on one’s location,
as it rises each morning.
One look at me and these dwarf mongoose
scurried into their anthill home.
Every now and again some would
pop their heads out to see if I was still there.
After half an hour of waiting for them
to emerge from the safety of home,
with declining results, I decided to stop wasting
my time, and have a good look at the anthill.
Lo! And behold they had an escape route planned
long before I came along.

On our last morning in Africa (2013),
I woke earlier than usual
to the sound of breaking branches.
After my eyes became used to the light,
or to the lack thereof,
an elephant emerged out of the gloom,
no doubt on its way to the
Sausage Tree Safari Camp
waterhole.
