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.

I don't know what those birds are called, but they behaved, sounded like and were roughly the size of chicken.

This is a real gem: A kingfisher. Tiny, but making up for its diminutive size with brilliant colours.

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.

A lizard, basking by the pool. I know I already posted this one, but I think the new scan did the colours more justice.

A Dragonfly by the pool...

A flute player from the Samburu tribe.

The Samburu tribe, fetching their water in the Ewaso River. Apparently they knew where the crocs were...

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.

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?

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