Richprins' Escapades to Marloth

[Lisbeth]

To work, shouldn't they be rooted in the earth Like that, they just blow away

[Richprins]

It's a simple measure, catches the sand a bit?

But mostly to stop people walking there and making the donga bigger!

[Lisbeth]

That has more sense

[Richprins]

Then on down to the river!

The oasis stream on the way back!

And then quite near the house, Dwarf spotted this very well!

It was a leopard track, actually a couple, in the soft sand, so one could even see the pad at the back...

We were not sure, and a little nervous, but thought it may be something else, but what could it be? Quite big, as one can see a shoe to one side.

In the event, Dwarf actually saw a leopard next to the tar road one late evening a few months later, so there we go!

[Richprins]

A spiky caterpillar!

For some reason Dwarf took me to have a look at one of his haunts, River View, a restaurant at the caravan park on the river.

There was a Saturday flea market going on!

It is very pleasant, one sits and has a next to the river!

[Lisbeth]

Looks like a very pleasant day

Leopard They are mostly out at night and they are more scared of you than the other way around.....I think

[nan]

I like the "spiky" one

must be lot of adrenaline with these traces

[Pumbaa]

More than a nice river view, Richprins

Great shots of the spiky one and even leopard tracks

[Richprins]

One unusual thing there was a sacred ibis, didn't even know they were found in Kruger!

Back at home some visitors!

The farmer at work...

And that night a monstrous kudu came in!

[Richprins]

More night shots!

Next morning yet more manual labour!

And for a change it was not me getting wounded!
