Happy camming

 

And while I have your attention, if you haven't already checked out this thread concerning what the folks at Nkorho Lodge are doing for the kids at the Gottenberg Nursery School, please do!  We need your help!

I don't know what you saw Janice.  I had stepped away for a few minutes and came back to see the geese in the water squaking away.  didn't notice anything else in the area by then.

Termites Play a Vital Role in African Ecosystems

Yes, there was a little critte, only saw it briefly. It ran around just behind where E & T had been sitting.  Don't know if it was a small type of cat, but it was quick whatever it was.  Didn't see it leave, but it was hard to follow, so I guess it's gone
