I experimented with giving it a piece of bacon, which it was not so impressed with? -O-

Momprins did not like this visitor at all...gross! :no:

Anyway, after the excitement, my normal sitting on the stoep waiting for the afternoon drive, and checking out the occasional visitor!

Then off to the pool for the normal walk...the Weeping Boerbean flowers come out in late winter, they are gorgeous as always!

A squirrel O\/ O\/

Bacon might not be the taste of a monitor lol The food of a monitor is normally not smoked. You should have tried with the egg ;-)

I believe that you love the trips to Kruger not only because of the bush-feel and the animals, but also because of the food O**

On to 2024 \O
