He was indeed, but sadly he has passed on to the big game park in the sky.

Re: Kruger Through the Years with my Dad
Always obey the rules of the road. First look right...
...then left!
My mom and Shirley.
This was the one and only trip that SO made to Kruger (apart from 1 day trip), many moons ago before we were even married. My gran also came on this trip and she must have been in her eighties. She had some wonderful sightings...lions under every tree, leopards in every tree, even angels on horseback!!
SO and my dad.
Babes in the wood.
Another cutie!
A hooded vulture.
Right...
...then left! -O
And that’s the end of my dad’s pics! Thanks for joining me on my trip down memory lane!

What an amazing trip down memory lane. Must have been very special for you Flutterby with all those photos of loved ones.
Thanks so much for scanning them so that we could enjoy this TT with you. So sorry it has to come to an end.

Mel, my gran wasn't a cat magnet, she just imagined all those sightings!! -O Mr Flutts would be probably be quite upset if he knew those pics were here...he is paranoid about social networks, forums etc!Mel wrote:So your gran was the mega cat magnet?!

Tx stf. It was fun going through all those pics again, and even quite emotional, but still memories of very good times!steamtrainfan wrote:What an amazing trip down memory lane. Must have been very special for you Flutterby with all those photos of loved ones.

Heksie, we had fantastic lion sightings way back when, but not many leopard sightings! That kiekie (I like that word) of the bottles was taken in the 60s in Empangeni (my birthplace )...my dad and his friends were keeping a tally!Heksie wrote:I just had to catch up a bit... what great memories and sightings that you had.

Re: Kruger Through the Years with my Dad
What a nice lion pic with all the LOs
Obviously SO did not like it that much, if he never went back Now that he is grown up, does he still have a "pony tail" -O

Re: Kruger Through the Years with my Dad
No, Lis, no pony tail...more like a lion's mane!! -O I don't understand him...he can stare at a fishing rod all day waiting for a bite but he gets bored in the bush!! Once he's seen an animal he doesn't need to see another one! -O
