Because We Can

Time is at a premium, so this post will be short on words. But grandma Crocodile, what big teeth you have. The sun had the crocodiles basking. This croc was heading toward the water full speed ahead. Note the sand flying from his front foot. Scenes along the river. I’m getting better and better at capturing birds in motion, something that isn’t easy for me to do. But then, birds do more just perch or stand still. White Ibis taking flight. The bird on the right had just dive bombed the bird on the left. Eye to eye with a big croc. Peggy shows how not everyone was into taking photos. Irina shows how some people were into taking photos in a big way. “Resting Buffalo”. Not all buffalo rest. Maybe I should call this one “Grazing Buffalo in front of Resting Buffalo”. Irina is either exhausted from holding up that huge lens all morning or she can’t hold her beer. Just teasing! Namibia’s finest is very good be...

Great view to start the day. Dab and wattle construction. We have no clue how lucky we are to live where we do. At Retama, it’s a major disaster when the pool has a problem or the clubhouse is too noisy. The wood the rhino is carved from comes from this type of tree. Should have taken a close up of the rhino so you could see how pretty it is. Bad Bob. This young lady actually made the basket I bought. It is made from grass and twigs. As always, we prefer to buy objects from the locals who made them rather than in the shops. The tree is so big that it doesn’t look big in this photo. You never know what you will see when you travel. Water Monitor Lizard. Namibian flag.   Beer, Norma, it’s beer. A sel by Linda. Art photo by Linda to end the day.
