It is quite usual to encounter a Black Rhino mum with two calf’s of different ages. I love this picture of a small Rhino family.
Enjoy your day!

THE MORNING POST – AGITATION
Rhinos will let you know if they are upset. They will curl up their tail. Once they relax their tail will relax and swing from side to side 😊
Have a good week!

THE EVENING POST – TREE MONKEY
I do not often get to photograph Vervet Monkeys on Thanda. They usually run away or hide as soon as they see a long camera lens (I guess they think it is a gun). But this little chap stayed for a photo session in the evening light 😊
Have a good week!

THE MORNING POST – MISTY MORNING
I love winter mornings when the mist takes its time to rise and disappear 😊
Enjoy your Sunday!

THE EVENING POST – NOSTALGIE
This is a bit of a nostalgic picture which I took on 31 December 2004. One of my favorite dad and son pictures.
Enjoy your evening 😊

THE MORNING POST – THE ULTIMATE CAMOUFLAGE
The markings of a Leopard are one of the most incredible designs of nature. The rosette design of the coats of these elusive cats allow them to ‘disappear’ within meters/yards of the observer.
I have seen Leopards walk of a road into a thicket and just vanish. Only once they move (even as little as an ear or the tip of the tail) I was often able to locate them again. And believe me, they are masters in ‘holding still’ and being patient. Many times they were just gone, as a magician from a stage!
Enjoy your weekend 😊

THE EVENING POST – VULTURE ARGUMENTS
I have not often heard vultures to be that vocal. There was not much left of this Kudu kill and there were docents of vultures around competing for the food. Listen to their chattering and hissing sounds.
Enjoy your evening 😊

THE MORNING POST – TOO CUTE
In the Zulu language the words for ‘too’ and ‘very’ must be interchangeable as most of my Zulu friends often mix them up when they speak English. They would say a meal is ‘too’ nice when they mean ‘very’ nice and a flower is ‘too’ beautiful rather than ‘very’ beautiful.
But looking at this image both terms would be quite appropriate, as this little Egyptian Gosling is just *too cute *😊.
I took these pictures yesterday evening at Thanda Safari.

THE EVENING POST – CLOSE TO POWER
Late this afternoon I passed a small waterhole just as this old Cape Buffalo Bull turned around and came a bit closer to give me a good look. I had my iPhone on eye level with this impressive creature to get this special perspective shot 😊
PS: Please do not try this yourself unless you know how to interpret the buffalo’s moods.
