Africa Wild

An extra red-eyed one

Beautiful and equally beautifully captured, PJL.

Flutts, you live in the same area as me, why do you switch off when you come home from the bush?

Not surprisingly BT . After all , Johannesburg/ Pretoria is the largest man-made exotic forest in Southern Africa

I've heard that Johannesburg is the most heavily forested city in the world.

BT, I'm always on the lookout for birds but we never have seem to have anything new in our garden!

More stunning pics!

I have seen a few YBK's, but not close enough for pics!

So, stop complaining that you don't see anything from/in your garden

Fantastic again

But no more spiders

My camera only comes out when I visit a game park, so the cell phone is my lazy alternative; however there’s not much that I can take pic of with it at home unless I climb trees

As most spend a large portion of their life at work I decided to use my cell phone camera to photograph a ringneck mother outside the 2nd floor male ablutions.

The problem is that one can only see the mother and junior when standing at the urinal and looking out the window. Taking pics while in this position causes its own problems though and I made a few at the urinal rather upset, so I won’t be taking any more pics unless I’m alone in the loo.
