My daft boy derping out with his tongue out.

Summertime sleepiness for Skitten and her no.1 fan, Mr. Salacious Crumb.

I used to be mystified by salad. I have no idea why. It’s super easy but it seemed like sorcery for some reason.

Back home in Obz. We’re tired. So #tacotherapy . .

Free markets - great for consumer goods but…

Touristing today at the South African Constitutional Court - the beating heart of South African democracy. It did not succumb to the treachery of our former president and his foreign paymasters. It stands against the vicious tyranny of our past and the sellout traitors of our present and future.

Not my best pic from the trip. But you can’t beat this for excitement. We were given bad instructions on where to look for this leopard - so out of 35 mins we spent there we spent about 5 mins actually looking at the animals. But shortly after we did spot them, this little leopard kitten stuck up it’s little head and I grabbed a couple of pics. This also shows you why people use such enormous lenses for wildlife photography. This was with a long lens (500mm) and a 1.4x extender. And this is still a crop of only probably 40% of the image area. On a phone this leopard cub would have only been a few pixels. ...

Crested Barbet. Not uncommon to see in Johannesburg gardens. I managed to photograph a few things that got close enough for my Pentax 67 film camera. I’ll have to wait and see whether any of them worked out. I might try it again though. It’s a lot of fun to use and the clatter of that enormous shutter is very satisfying.

It’s our last day in Kruger. So lucky to get to stay so long, and yet it seems to always be over so fast. We saw this smart little Black-Backed Jackal yesterday. Just taking it easy in the twilight.

One more for today (had no signal this morning). We came across a hyena family - including the littlest hyena. Full of fun and playing with its siblings.
