Pictures Taken By you...

[Madhuri]

Very nice, Maddie. I like the waterfalls too.

Thanks Waterfalls are one of my favourites too.

Oh my!

Maddie, I'm becoming a huge fan .

I am so glad Thanks.

I have the last few from this trip, its about a typical village, I mean that in some remote villages people still use primitive means of cultivation. I will post those very soon.

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.


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.

[Janine]

Which wild turkey is YOU?

[Janine]

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?

[Janine]

No Janine. You must be hullucinating. Seriously, do you have fever?

No, just eyesight problem! Old age no doubt......

[Laindessiel]

Yes i took them Reccura (Are you Italian that you say Ciao? )

Hehe. Reccura is my other sis, Uncle Virg. And people here in the Philippines now say "ciao" just like they say "hello". Dunno how and why it started.

Great pictures, Uncle Virg!!!

[Laindessiel]

You are so beautiful, Schoko! (Or Schocky?) Dublin is very wonderful.

Mads, your photos are very imaginative!

Seems like everyone here has makings of a great photog!!

Nice pictures. They seem to be very alert: Look how their ears are zeroed in on you...

Thanks !

I have to say this, that when I was taking these pictures, I was thinking of litnet, and also that, if these come out good, i'll post them here I know I shouldn't be doing so, I mean I should take pictures for the love of photography, rather than taking shots thinking of posting here.....

[ClaesGefvenberg]

I know I shouldn't be doing so, I mean I should take pictures for the love of photography, rather than taking shots thinking of posting here.....

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

Which ever version you prefer, Lain. Thank you

I'm very grateful you did, Maddie, seeing that if ever it will be quite a while until I'll be able to visit India myself, and your pictures are some consolation at least. You're actually performing a service for others .

Oh, well hello Reccura. I must have missed your introduction. Wow, three sisters all on lit net.

Nice pictures. They seem to be very alert: Look how their ears are zeroed in on you...

I guess I was the only moving thing around. They were just there off on the side and I must have seemed unusual to them.
