Rivalled only by the Taj Mahal. Great photos today. I think I saw one Secretary Bird with those impossibly long legs but I well remember seeing two species of zebra and many, many elephants just as in your photos. At Treetops we watched a herd of elephants barge into the watering hole scattering everything in sight. What a wonderful experience that was with the noise and commotion they made.

The wild life is spectacular, but I wonder if we will ever get there again as well, we are not getting any younger and there are still places I want to see on my list which also may never happen. <br /><br />The garden has been very demanding this year as we were away so long and catching up has not been so easy. Especially as I have had to plant several times in places, the young blackbirds are so naughty and keep digging young plants out looking for worms, even inside the greenhouse!!<br /><br />I hope all your medical issues for both of you solve themselves fairly quickly, I know the problem but Lindsay's sound even more of a problem,<br /><br />Take care and very best wishes to you both, DianeRhodesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159888599601532530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090635066385895666.post-16901491838035632412023-06-04T12:41:17.900+02:002023-06-04T12:41:17.900+02:00Thanks Diane, I just quite simply do not have the...Thanks Diane, I just quite simply do not have the time for blogging at the moment and I have so many photos that I need still to go through.

Nous n'avons toujours pas d'eau.....<br />Je retrouve dans tes très belles photos de nombreuses espèces que j'ai bien sûr rencontrées au Kenya, mais il y a des oiseaux en Afrique du Sud que je ne connais pas. Le Tisserin du Cap est imposant et le tadorne possède une très belle tête grise.<br />Les mammifères sont magnifiques, tu as assisté à de belles scènes comme le bain du buffle.<br />Merci Diane pour ces merveilles.
