Africa Wild

Definitely a tail in the tree...and spots!!! -O Well "spotted"!!

Thanks Flutts It was rather well spotted.

Hunny had been saying for ages she wants to see her own spotted one. The previous day, we saw the one walking next to the side of the road about 20m into the bush and we were the only car. She actually saw it first. I just managed a clear view before it headed into the bush and it was too fast to even get the camera ready to shoot it.

Then this one was much further away and she was suitably impressed that I had seen it. So the old eyes aren't too bad after all. It would be if I could say the same about the rest... (family forum BH, family forum....)

BH, on our recent trip I was determined to find my own LIT. I think I searched every tree in Kruger, but no luck!!

I can relate to that one FB. On my very first trip (as a day visitor) to KNP when I was but a teen, my uncle said to look in all the trees and find a LIT. Net result was, I saw buck. (As in bucker all.)

More fantastic sightings BH

A truly awesome trip

One more really great sighting to come oh crafty bushy person. But I guess you are going to have to wait a while before all is revealed.

There are a few more pictures to be posted which will hopefully detract Teach from lowering my marks.

Your sightings are great... and the pictures are getting even better...

okey.... send another five bucks...

Can't believe your luck!!!

Well spotted, that's for sure... Just how on earth did you miss the cat vanishing? -O -O -O

Good shoot sightings Bunny!! Can just imagine the celebrations...

Is there something that we should be concerned about, or just you?

Mel it's a funny camera. One of those where you look at a tiny screen instead of through a viewfinder. If you look carefully at the second picture, you will see spotty quite clearly already halfway down the tree. (If you call looking through the branched and leaves "clearly", bit he is visible.)

I was so focused on where spotty was in the tree that I was merrily clicking away. Looking at the shot I didn't see spotty so a closer inspection with binocs revealed the cat wasn't there. That was when I looked at the camera shot I had taken and found "nothing". It was about this time when I asked Hunny if it really had been there. Talk about foncusion.

Er Sprockeyman, age is a dastardly thing. It creeps up on you and suddenly one day you realise that some things that worked before no longer function the way they used to. For instance, I used to stop to think and now I forget to start again. My mind used to wander. Now it's left me completely. And worst of all is there is no sign of it's imminent return.

Memory is another. I only have an eighth of the fights I used to have before because I can only hear half of what was said. And half of that, it's just too much effort to retaliate. and then half of those times, I'm just not sure I understood the problem in the first place. (I guess that could be considered an upside of getting senile. )
