Christmas and after

No pictures on Christmas day! What was I thinking that day.  It was a beautiful day though spent with my parents who live in a wildlife area.  Very hot.  Imagine such a hot, hot Christmas! The boys spent a lot of the day in the swimming pool.  

The days after Christmas were spent fishing and game spotting.

 We visited the tiny Catholic chapel on the hill.  Such beautiful stain glass windows.

 Zebra

 Lots of monkeys visit my parents' garden.

 Catching a catfish, saying hello and then releasing him again.

 Hippos.

 Big catch!

 Malibou storks gathering together.

 Leo was very proud of his catch!

 Dragonfly picture.  My favourite insect and can never resist photographing dragonflies when I can!

Water monitor. How lucky we are to see these animals roaming free in the wild.

Beautiful Wild

A visit to the wild places over the weekend. What we most hoped to spot were rhinos but no luck this time.  We did see my favourite giraffes, a bird of prey, some monkeys, zebra, guinea fowl and impala.

 And from the lakeside we watched fishermen in their canoes hoping for a good catch.

 And majestic fish eagles, their beautiful calls echoing over the lake.
