As I was driving along the airstrip this morning, I saw a huge helmet of a shell making his way across the road. I swerved around him, climbing the steep road edge, and raced back to catch him on camera. He was a little shy but I managed to get this shot as he peered myopically at me.

Further along the Orphan road I came across this lone bull elephant. He was covered in the red sandy soil that drains so well, allowing me to drive without getting stuck. The suns rays caught him just before the rain started drumming down on us.

I retraced my path to escape the little cloudburst and turned towards the Banyini Area. This open grassland was dotted with small intensely orange flowers and I just had to line one up with the big Baobab tree and moody sky in the backround.

    For some reason, I can’t get this video to play. Nor can I click on any of the pictures to take me to newest set of photos for the day. Anyone have any idea what I’m doing wrong???

    Nancy, I can’t get to the video either. :(

    Please try the video again. I think it is working now. I hope I have sorted out the problem. Hope you enjoy it.

    Kim,

    You also cannot click on a picture and go to Flickr.

    Yes, thank you very much! I realize you hate the drive to SA to retrieve your daughters but what a grand time I know you will have.

    I’m having the same problem. I was able to view the picture but could not get the photo stream (or whatever it’s called!) to come up.

    i nancy and bonnytexas. The picture links are to my flickr site. I don’t know why it should be different from Kim’s but it seems to be. The only way around it that I have found is to right click (or ctrl click if you have a mac) on the picture and select copy image location and put that in your browser. This is my flickr account if all else fails http://www.flickr.com/photos/nhoro/ You will find all the photos here.
