God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: Grietjie Private Reserve
Midweek post, strange...
Firstly, thanks for commenting and complimenting.
Grietjie is pumping with Lions at the moment. Yesterday between 17h00 and 19h00 there were four different sightings over the reserve. I spent almost an hour at the one sighting of five Lions. Will try and post pics this evening.

Re: Grietjie Private Reserve
Right, time for yesterday evenings Lion sighting.
I received a message from Nenna saying that there are five Lions between the house and the dam, now this is where I used to live when I first moved to Grietjie. I immediately made my way across there and was right next to the Lions in no time. A great place to be with them, as it's right in the middle of the property and nobody without traversing rights can get there, so I spent close to an hour with them with no other people at all.
The light was fading fast, as I got there shortly after 18h00. The first pics were taken at 1600 ISO.
Here are four of the five when I arrived...
One of the young males...
Something got this ones attention...
The light was weakening even more (ISO 3200) and it was cooling down, which meant that they started grooming...
More coming up...

Re: Grietjie Private Reserve
They were now showing all the signs of getting mobile, the main sign...yawning...
They then started interacting in play...
Then the play got a bit more serious and very vocal...(ISO 6400)
And then, they slumped back down for a few minutes, before moving off and out of sight...
It was good while it lasted. Hopefully I'll have more to post, if Eloise doesn't get too serious this weekend...
