While the African wildlife…
…soon lost its novelty value…
…never, was an animal sighting less than awesome.
Although uncommon visitors to our car,
the Yellow Billed Hornbill was
a common sight during our African Safaris.

Blacks and Whites today.
I probably have no taste in art at all but l like this
Spiderweb in Canola Crop image…
particularly the BW version.
Too busy? Or about right?
Another I like.
Camellia
There must be another name for
Red Hot Poker,
but it’s too hot to search.
This looks so refreshing.

Tuesday-PC-Wk135_ Memories
~~~~~~
It was a toss-up but decided to stay in Africa
for my memories post
Scuba diving in Botswana.
The longest Rhino horn my eyes have sighted
Our first close encounter with lions.
Not sure who got the biggest shock…our driver or the lioness.
‘Limpy’ as she was known was on the track around a corner
and very nearly was run over. But she settled
about 15-20 feet away and posed for photos.
A zebra crossing in Kruger National Park.
And last, but by no means least…the cubs.
Meet Nosy and Rosy…my name for these two cubs.
Their mother, Limpy, shooed them down to watch the strange tourists
on the condition they sat on the elephant dung
which was about 10-15 feet from us.
This was an unexpected, last night, game drive.
We sat in near silence, our cameras clicking away madly.
After about twenty minutes we had to leave as the sun was going down.
A memory we will never forget as we had
an African artist convert one image to a drawing
for our living room wall, so the memory lives on.
