Day 6 Afternoon Drive
To answer the burning question, I did indeed add the Sheila on BBM
But the blonde Sheila was only likely to accept the invite once she is in the land of cell-phone reception. At any rate, it was time to visit sunset dam I thought!! This was my last afternoon in the Park!
Day 6 Afternoon



The Blackberry updates were indicating leopard and lion near Skuks, but for my last afternoon in the park, I was not going to follow the crowd. I wanted rather to just cruise along on my favourite afternoon route
Stopping over near the still, serene, sunset dam, all the usual suspects are there to greet me!
The crocarocks baking in the sun. Nile cold blooded killers of a few hundred kg's that are about as scary as they come! Hippster blobs were surfacing with a spout whilst others blobbed around on the far river bed. And Mr Gosling was attempting to direct the waters!
Sir munchalot was a pleasantfant!!
I nestle my camera down on the passenger seat and shift my sitting position to look properly at the lad! There was a sense that as much as I was observing him, he was observing me too! When I look at the others in the herd, munchy turns his attention back to the green leaves. But the second I look at him, his eyes focus on me once more! I wonder what wisdom he could share with me.




Onto the s28
where the croaky singing announces the presence of our visitor!
What a joy!!

Zappidy Zeebs stood in the road giving me the bizarre look!
Okes are just standing around up in this place. I slowly edge past the striped lovelies! Looking left and right at slow pace I find the next peeping Tom staring me down!
Mr Legolas was surveying out the grasslands below near Duke's waterhole!
I come back to the open plains and park of by a dancing Willie!
Swinging his head, and stomping his hooves every now and then, this Willie was as happy as could be!! The European Bee Eater also watched the dancing show but decided against joining
Perhaps the Willie was in love?

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Giants were passing through the grasslands!



He did not mind my presence at all. He just went about his business as per usual.
Another one bites the dust!
Well we do not need to dwell too long on the topic of poop. It is a voodoo topic!
More of the land mine placers swooped in for an afternoon swig of water!
There is not a better end to a day, than spending it with our precious
When I was tiny, my father would pick me up, and take me outside when I was being a tearful brat. He would say look at the moooon! Then I would repeat: moooon! And there we would stay until I was content and over myself. Even when I was an emo teenager, I would run outside and lie on the trampoline and look up at the moon and happy memories. But now the therapeutic effect of old is replaced by fear. I cannot help but wonder if our beautiful Rhonnies are safe when I see the full moon. What would we not do, to keep every one safe? And what would I give to look at a full moon and smile once more. These animals have caused the tears to run down our cheeks. But seeing a rhonnie now means a lot more than it did before. There as added dimension of treasuring the animal so much more! now And I was grateful to spend as much time as gate closing would allow with my friend here :D

Next up - The drive out (all good things come to an end)
