Herons and Egrets Fishing

The baobab look for the summer is a leafy green outfit quite in contrast to its classic leafless ‘upside down tree’ look. Their creme of tartar pods are swelling nicely and I  am looking forward to tasting them. It is something that reminds me of my childhood. My dad would stop and buy the pods on the side of the road on our way to South Africa and so I think I associate them with beach holidays.

These heads of grass,with the sun behind were just beautiful. Of course the downside is these beautiful seed block up our car radiators and we have to blow them out with an air compressor.

And last, I leave you with a jackal, gnawing on a bone that he found lying around.

Replacing Manyari’s Transmitter


The dart is carefully prepared as the anaesthetic is dangerous to humans.

The box of darting equipment looks like colorful fishing tackle but is an array of necessary antidotes and safety equipment.

No matter how much time I spend with the lions, I am always amazed at their size. Manyari’s paw dwarfs Kathy’s hand.
