Hi Phil.
I hope you are continuing to make a good and full recovery from the traumatic surgery you received no so long ago.. After all, having a good pair of running legs must be essential where you live!! Personally running is not one of my strengths, and I doubt a hungry lion would be kind enough to sit and listen to me explaining that I came to Africa just look at him and admire how wonderfull he was... LOL.. So I will settle for re-reading Wilbur Smith... The photos you take are about as near to Africa as I am ever likely to get, so thank you for posting them here for us to see.. ... |

The little Ibis is not frightened of human contact and seemed quite happy for me to be there. I was mindful not to get too close, placing the camera on the end of a long straight branch and disguising it with leaves. The rest was guess work, trial and error. I will keep a look out for the mum and dad Ibis. They sometimes visit the ponds, so I might be lucky in getting a photo of them. They love to announce their presence with a loud Haaa-deee-daaa shriek! Elephants, Zebra, Lioness, Gazelle, Wild Buffalo, etc are due out from editing. Thank you for your support. Phil |

You would be surprised at how the human mind can tap into 'Fright and Flight' when it is needed, casting off the stick and gingerly making a rapid exit Wilber Smith is still very popular for the youngsters as essential reading. We keep his books I am not yet 100% after the op, but am doing my best. The past few days have been a struggle, I think due to the humidity and altitude. I am looking forward to my return to the UK in August and the summer |
