Christmas eve had me winding down and just having fun.
I took to the skies early in the morning to see what the rain had done last night and thankful that I wasn’t trying to drive anywhere. The place was totally soaked. Just great!
And all the animals I saw were dotted around in the heavy clay areas, all totally inaccessible by vehicle. Why they like to walk around in those heavy clays, I don’t quite know.
The buffalo herds were spread out all over the reserve. I don’t think I’ve ever so many from the air.
Fresh tracks criss-crossed the clay, being very visible from the air.
The only elephant I saw was this big tusker in the south east. I wonder where the herds are hanging out?
A very MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!!!!!!
Thanks for the shots - Happy Elephants - Happy X mas to all here…….
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and your family too Kim. And hope the New Year is even more blessed than 2008.
Thank you Kim for all the joy you bring every day, my morning coffee would not be the same without your wonderful clips, Merry Christmas to you and the girls and the whole crew
It’s so much fun to watch these videos and see the fantastic pictures…almost as good as the real thing! We only get to visit Africa once a year and this helps to tide us over when we’re missing the bush!
best wishes

Could the animals be munching on some mineral in the clay?
Thank you for the video, Kim. I’ve been reading a lot more about elephants lately, and just love watching them do what they do. Hope your Christmas was full of happiness.

Thanks for writing this. I love Madonna. She is such a fantastic strong female role model.
Foursquare and Facebook Areas let people know precisely exactly where you might be. They’ll know exactly where they can locate you, and when your house is empty. So if you have the choice to log in 50 miles away from property, consider to yourself. “Who is seeing this, and do they need to know my dwelling will probably be empty for aminimum of one more hour?”
This is NOT SPAM, all I am asking you to do is read this…PLEASE and pass it along. This is a TRUE UPDATE on the Gulf Coast BP Oil Spill!!
Have you ever heard of Whipple Van Ness Jones, III?
Probably not, unless you watch the CBS daytime soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.
You see, according to Wikipedia….
Whipple Jones III is a fictional character on CBS’s daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful. He had been portrayed by Rick Hearst from February 13, 2002 to August 29, 2002 and was absent for nearly seven years before returning to the show on July 17, 2009….
However, what they don’t tell you is that Whipple Van Ness Jones, III is a real person.
Whip resides in NW Florida with his wife, 3 children, and pets.
The problem is that when the BP oil spill happened Whip and his family lost their family business in Seaside, Florida the name of the store was Molly Caroline’s named after his two daughters Georgia Caroline and Molly Catherine (Whipple Van Ness Jones, IV wasn’t born yet when they opened their store).
Whip loved the idea that The Bold and the Beautiful named a character after him, he thought it was fun because obviously how else would they come up with the EXACT SAME NAME for the show.
Whip contacted the show early on (sent a copy of his birth certificate and drivers license), they didn’t offer any money (and Whip didn’t ask for any), just an autograph from the star portraying him.
The problem is NOT that Whip has a character on a show, the problem is Whip and his family lost their main source of income due to the BP oil spill.
Now when Whip applies for a job, and the employment places run a reference check on him and find a Wikipedia article calling Whip a fictional character on CBS’s daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful, they claim he is using the name of a soap opera character…
What Whip did was start his own dot com….and is allowing people to post blogs on his site for free, just to show that he is a real person.
Google does give Whip a TINY amount to have ads on the right hand side of his webpage.
Please pass this along to your friends to show that Whipple Van Ness Jones, III is not only a real person, but a man trying to keep food on his family’s table.
Thank you!!
PS- Whip and his family did put in a claim with BP, they just haven’t heard anything yet. AS OF MARCH 24, 2011
PPS- Also, some people consider CBS to have BORDERLINE stolen Whip’s identity. Whip doesn’t see it this way, but how would you feel if you couldn’t get a job based on what Wikipedia says about you????
bonjour les gens j’aime bien ce post mais l’ immobilier est mon soucis.
