Great to enjoy the not so close encounters of wildlife in the bush, that's how it should be ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^ in an almost natural setting.

He gets aggressive after a bit of tea, as we know... :O^

And in the distance 3 more! ^Q^ O/\


q7.jpg


This was weird...for a couple of kilometres someone had let paint leak off the back of a vehicle onto the road! =O:


q8.jpg

Borderline argued furiously that the vehicle had NOT been traveling in the same direction as we were, which was later to be proven wrong to him after much geometry explanation! :twisted:



A classic koppie view! [InLuv] :-0



q9.jpg

Notice that the clouds had dissipated briefly!
