Hi everyone!  The NK watering hole is very still and peaceful looking tonight with a beautiful sharp focus.  I look to some visitors soon.  Smile

zebs very peaceful today.

I think that is one of the greatest gifts animals can teach us...how to just be still and at peace 'in the moment'. Smiling

Josh has confirmed that we are indeed at 7 total young wildies now, though apparently NYE was not a kill to their knowledge. Thinks Styx got 1.

Anyone know at what age a wildie takes on its adult coloring?

Guys, we're going to get our hands smacked as this is the sightings thread. Eye-wink

But I almost totally agree with you, Bronco (especially about death\injury brought on by man's selfishness). I can feel sadness, particularly if I hear or see suffering, and still appreciate that another life was made stronger by it.

Now back to our waterholes. Smiling

 

edited to add: sent you pm, WC...just to get conversation out of here. Smiling
