My new favourite rodent

Many people who travel tyo game parks have one goal in mind and that is to see the big animals, preferably the big five. Suzie and I on the other hand take pleasure in all the animals, big and small. On a recent trip to the Mountain Zebra National Park we came across a few colonies of ground squirrels, which came out to forage in the late afternoon, which kept us occupied for ages.

They were very entertaining to watch, as they scuttled about looking for whatever it is they eat, stopping to look around and flapping their bushy tails up and down.

At the first sign of danger there would be a mad dash, as they beat a hasty retreat to their burrows, but they were soon on the go again.

It was a dark and stormy night....

The view through my cars windscreen at 04h45 this morning, taken while on a neighbourhood watch patrol. I liked the way the street light caught the sheets of falling rain. The effect was enhanced with the water running off the windscreen, giving it a nice abstract effect.

Seal Point Lighthouse

Saturday was a perfect day in the Eastern Cape and a trip to Cape St Francis always merits a visit to the lighthouse that was built in 1874.

This time round I took a different perspective with my pictures.

 

Misty morning

Chose a very misty and rainy morning to cross the Zuurberg Pass. We did not see much of the view, but the atmosphere was great.

Skywatch Friday - Giraffes

Sometimes bland skies can be enhanced with a pair of giraffes. They are such regal looking animals, but to me they always look unhappy.

Visit Skywatch for more great skies from around the world.
