About the closest we have ever come to an elephant's bum!
How to remove a roof in 30 seconds!
Clouds (a few satellites and a plane too) scudding across the small Magellanic cloud which is a small galaxy visible only in the southern hemisphere. To the left is Achernar, the 9 brightest star in the sky. Immediately above it and slightly to the right is 47 Tuc, a globular star cluster containing millions of stars. Although they look close, the small Magellanic cloud is 15x further away than the star cluster.
We don't have any spooky or gruesome Halloween activity here. But we do have dung beetles!
Just our current resident taking a long drink in beautiful golden light!
The bushpig! The heat here is building strongly now, we are seeing 35 degrees C pretty much every day. The only solution is lots of cold water!
Musical Sunday at Kaingu Lodge. Somewhat ironic that a song made famous by Shane McGowan was performed by a dentist with perfect teeth!
That Bach recital we were talking about? Here you go:
Yellow trumpet (Costus spectabilis) blooming. This timelapse started on the 23rd of November and I stopped it on the morning of the 27th. 2,600 images in the making.
Run for your lives!!! It was the terrifying sight of two waterbuck fighting that set this herd off. That semi-awkward shuffling gait is damn fast, but you can see as they get to the tree line they are starting to flag a bit.
A large wet elephant dung after the rains. Flattened first by the rains and then the monkeys picking through, it doesn't stop there. In comes the insect life. Two hours of frantic life by the laundry at Kaingu Safari Lodge on a Sunday!
Stormy night skies, the moon and even Jupiter if you look carefully.
It was quite a sighting. 7 pups and two adults on the loops this morning. After Kebby's guests left we went back across with him for a look. With full bellies and nearby water pools they were not going anywhere. At least that was the theory. And fortunately it was correct.
