Sis
Your mindset to make the most of every day, regardless of weather or sightings is refreshing - kudos to you
I like the spa Buffs, Red Rocks scenery, the hammerkop w/ reflection
![Clap ^Q^](./images/smilies/applause7.gif)
, and the Yellow-b storks that always remind me of an Oriental painting. You certainly have an eye
![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/bwink4.gif)
for nature's art in the form of trees - even the squirrel at the end of the entry shares your appreciation of artsy trunks
![Yes :yes:](./images/smilies/icon_yes.gif)
Seems you and squirrels are kindred spirits.

This was the francolin day
The tree looks like a Jackalberry to me, the leave shape and the bark is not Marula-like. Well-spotted!
This is a
Hibiscus calyphyllus, Lemon-yellow rosemallow
and
Heliotropium nelsonii, Common String-of-star
And I like the lady-starling and the hornbills in the Mopane
Your Crowned lapwing looks also beautiful with the red legs in the greenery

Thanks Lisbeth,
that is why the S56 is still one of our favourite roads because of the beautiful trees along that road
and you are right when it is raining the good sightings are rare but nevertheless better rain than drought again
Great shots of the crested barbet and from the waterbucks
There are camps in Kruger were everything is okay but they are rare indeed - especially those missing hooks were to hang the towels on and reachable mirrors to put my contact lenses on without doing wrenches are rare and sometimes there are hooks or mirrors but simply for giants and I cannot reach them

The bush looks nicely green in and after the rains
And the birds always look as if they felt sorry for themselves when their plumage is all wet and soaked
Kinda cute though.
Oh, and love that diva barbet
Despite the lack of steady big cat sightings, it must be really nice up there

A lot of sightings for such wet weather!
The birds look very sorry for themselves!
