Africa: Safari, Day VI...

Visiting a Croc Farm on the Zimbabwe border...

Open wide (did you know that crocodiles don't have tongues?)...

Almost looks as if he's smiling for the camera...

Big boy napping in the sun...

Scales 'n' tails...

Seven people are killed every day in Africa as a direct result of a crocodile attack...

Wanna' go for a swim?...

The most adorable little mongoose...

Playing with Bradley...

Finally tired?...Probably not!

I'm not being crude - this is a Blue Balled Vervet Monkey...

Trust me on this: with monkeys comes chaos (and a whole lotta' noise)...

Elephants in the trees...

Barbed wire on the border of Zimbabwe and South Africa: A visual reminder of past political tension from over fifteen years ago...

Farm land...

Reminds me of West Texas...

Please take note of Bradley's sock tan...

Walking home...

Waiting for a ride...

Africa: Safari, Day V...

Sometimes the landscape looked so much like Texas that I almost forgot I was in Africa...

Dry river bed...

Have I ever mentioned how much I detest the sport of hunting? No?...Well, I do.

Giraffes...

So graceful. I could watch them run all day. Such peaceful creatures...

An impala leaping its way across the road...

Again with the cell phones...

Bradley putting the wench back in place...

A Nylga wanders out into the open...

South Africa at dusk...

Yes, AM, another sunset...

...I think they are pretty...

...even if I do sound like a travel ad for South Africa! :P

Africa: Safari, Day IV...

So cold. So windy.

On top of the big rock looking for game...

Tracking...

Look at the clouds...

Giraffe...

A chicken and her 'peeps' at the lodge...

Hand gun, anyone?!

Driving in ‘Messina’...

…Or is it ‘Musina’? Depends on which road sign you happen upon first. Apparently, the government is sloooowly changing the spelling of several of its towns and villages.

Rugby, anyone?!

Beautiful end to a day that began so cold and misty...

Africa: Safari, Day III...

Shadows...

Termite Mound...

Little Village...

Children at play...

The Baobab: Africa's Upside-Down Tree...

My camera held hostage...

The colors...

...The beauty...

...The sunsets in Africa.
