Safari Weekend

Yes - I went on Safari sitting at my dining room table this weekend having breakfast. Well - that's where I started the safari. After I finished my cereal and tea I moved the computer into the kitchen so I could continue along. I've always been fond of Nature shows - from the time I was a child watching Marlin Perkins and the Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom shows up to the present with National Geographic, Animal Planet and the Discovery channels. It's a bounty out there!

This is a spotted Hyena who was wandering down the road and was startled by the jeep sitting there with people taking his photo. He bolted into the bush shortly after this!
This is a young male elephant who was "mock" charging the jeep. I'm glad the guide knows MOCK charging!

A Momma and her calf - a little later they shot mud - playfully - at the jeep.


This is a Kingfisher - makes a neat sound (Melinda and Gail would like that)

This is a leopard sleeping in the tree - and he didn't wake for Anyone or Anything.




This is Pieter - South African guide. Another reason to tune in on Saturday and Sunday mornings having my coffee.....



So check it out some morning - you can get there by clicking on ild Earth,W or if you just like to sit passively and watch - try National Geographic site - Petes Pond. You can link from there to other wonderful live cams of different animals.

  1. So cool! That guide is pretty hot. And I'm sure his accent is amazing! I'll have to look up that bird, I've heard of it before :)
