waiting for them......
More Kenya shots, fresh from the scanner. As you will see, the Lodge pool attracted more than humans:

A Warthog. A truly formidable pig... all muscle.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...haba-Kenya.jpg
I don't know what those birds are called, but they behaved, sounded like and were roughly the size of chicken.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...haba-Kenya.jpg
This is a real gem: A kingfisher. Tiny, but making up for its diminutive size with brilliant colours.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...haba-Kenya.jpg
A 2' Monitor Lizard I later met in the pool: Apparently it decided to go for a swim at the same time as I did.
None of us were paying much attention to where we were going, and all of a sudden we were nose to snout in the middle of the pool!
Both of us took prompt action, by performing a swift U-turn and returning the way we had come (only considerably faster).
My wife saw the whole thing and I honestly thought she would never stop laughing.
I'll never hear the last of that wildlife encounter...

Another of those metallic coloured Starlings: Superb Starling.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...haba-Kenya.jpg
A lizard, basking by the pool. I know I already posted this one, but I think the new scan did the colours more justice.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...haba-Kenya.jpg
A Dragonfly by the pool...
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...haba-Kenya.jpg
A flute player from the Samburu tribe.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...haba-Kenya.jpg
The Samburu tribe, fetching their water in the Ewaso River. Apparently they knew where the crocs were...
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...hway-Kenya.jpg
Back on the road: This is the Kenya - Somalia Highway, a truly bone rattling experience. Does it surprise anyone that
we were told that cars went from new to scrap in three or four years here?

Since everyone is posting pictures of animals, here's some wild donkeys in the desert in Arizona. Arizona is in the southwest USA. I was driving by and there they were. Luckily I had a camera near by.

Which wild turkey is YOU?:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Virgil did you just change that to "donkey"? I could have sworn it said wild "turkey". Ok in that case which wild donkey is you?
No Janine. You must be hullucinating. Seriously, do you have fever? ;)Quote:

Mads, your photos are very imaginative!
Seems like everyone here has makings of a great photog!!

Why not? I see nothing mutually exclusive about love of photography and posting here.Quote:

That's me in a Dublin shopping centre that is of architectural merit in itself. The roof (in the background) is all made of glass.

Its always windy in Ireland!Quote:
That's me on a bridge over the river Liffey. Quite windy day that was :D.

Its good to see some of your pics of Ireland Cookie!Quote:
And the final one is me enjoying a Guinness in an Irish pub (with a man in a kilt in the background !) :D:

Madi i love those new pics! esp the one with the Peacock. such a beautiful bird. Isnt it a protected sacred animal in India?
Those monkeys are so cute!
*edit* I like the way the Quote boxs have framed your pics Schok!
Peacock is India's national bird. When it spreads its feathers it looks even more beautiful, this site you will see mostly in the monsoon season, or when a peacock is trying to attract a peahen.Quote:

I got a glimpse of Ireland too from Cookie's pictures. It seems a pleasant place. Very nice place you live in Niamh. :)

I find that Joyce is not much on description; he just mentions a place and one is almost supposed to know what it looks like. I should get a list together. I don't have time right now, but I would love to see the places he mentions. Off the top of my head there is the Martello (?) Tower and The Stand (is that a beach?).Quote:

We have the north strand which is also called the bull island which is a sand spit, a geological feature thats made up of sand, is primarily a beach and juts out of the coast like a natural pier. There are martello towers allover the dublin coast so i'll get some pics of those.Quote:

Yes, The Strand is what Joyce mentions. When I get home tonight I'll look up other places he mentions.Quote:

I love it, it's almost iconic. Heh.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I didn't know they wear kilts in Ireland. But perhaps some man who just wants to wear a skirt. ;)Quote:
