Day 6 Wednesday 14 November : Balule - continued.

The sun made an appearance in the afternoon.

In camp, an immature Natal Spurfowl.

Hippos at the Ngotso Wier.

Giraffes on the H1-4.

An ancient Buff.

A Red-crested Korhaan calling for a mate.

At Balule, the scorpion torch proved its value when it lit up this Transvaal Thick-tailed Scorpion before I trod on it!

And an Olive Toad.

The more the giraffe turns it head, the thinner the neck gets. Looks funny lol

The spurfowl is almost falling over its own legs 0*\

I don't have an iphone, Bulltuner...but the word on the street is you guys with the big cameras will be overtaken by cellphones! ^0^


Good not to step on that parabuthus...had a bad experience with one near Balule, ironically, hence I remember the name! :shock:

Boring pics otherwise..

I still need to get pictures of the aerobatic performance that follows!

I was ready to run away if the scorpion had moved in my direction - some things do scare me; mostly things that can do me some harm!

I've no doubt that cellphone cameras will continue improve but I think it will be many years before cellphone cameras get anywhere near the image quality of a DSLR because they will also improve. The quality and size of the lens and sensor play a large part in the clarity of the image.

As I said above, I was ready to run away if it looked threatening!

I agree, not such interesting pics in that bit but some people liked them ^0^
