Out Of Africa

Or should I say "Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my"....

My friend David has done me a great injustice. He sent me the link to a site in Africa. It is a waterhole that has a webcam trained on the landscape, day and night. There is something hypnotic about looking at a screen full of nothing, but something may come by any minute. There is sound so you can hear the animals approaching. Of course there are the sounds of the crickets, frogs and hyenas which are just fascinating.

I've spent last evening and the better part of today, watching the animals come and go. I saw some baboons, water buffalo and a lot of different birds. The owner of the site was panning the camera all around so I could see what was in the brush. I was hoping a lion would come along but no such luck.

It's night there now, but I see an occasional hyena wander by and there are still night birds. The prettiest time of day is dawn when the sounds of daybreak fill the air.

Thank heavens we had a lousy rainy day today so I didn't totally miss the day.

Thanks a lot David.

God bless you all.
