OH!  I just noticed you were from Ohio!  I'm originally from PA...just outside of Pittsburgh.

I miss the rain!  As the song goes, "it never rains in Southern California"  I miss it for sure!  So soothing.

That rain sounds absolutely wonderful!  I hope it rains for a few more hours.

May

Autumn gives way to winter; Rainfall drops off dramatically. White seringas in flower, wide range of autumn colours; kiaats begin seeding. Impala rut continues, internal migrations of animals towards warmer areas, whitebacked vultures breeding; wild dog breeding; elephants from Zimbabwe and Mozambique migrate to winter grazing grounds in northern Kruger. Temperature 13-28

What wonderful shots of our big lion!!!!! Wow did he ever have a big belly......anyone know what the kill was?

It was a buff, but I thought I read from Ernst that it had died after suffering a broken leg and they left it for the scavengers to get rid of. Might be wrong.

I'm pretty sure this was a different buff, brought down by the Mapogos, but near the same spot.

I stand corrected Embarassed
