The Great Outdoors: Up close and Personal

Every day has been a mini safari of exploring and photoing new sights. 

This is an Sun Bird resting on a protea flower that a saw on
a 3 hour hike up Table Mountain
in Cape Town. 

A rock badger posing for a picture at the top of Table Mountain- hoping for  a dropped snack.  Cute yes- but an attempted petting might get you a lost finger

Tree Aloe - as huge as it looks -
 in the Kerteinbosh National Park in Cape Town

An Almond tree - yes it's all one tree.
This would make an incredible kid's fort/treehouse

           

Blending in with my black and white friends
on Boulder Beach in Cape Town.  

 

Mischievous little monkeys on the side of the road-
as you open the window to snap a picture
 they might just try to leap into your car.

Okay, so no live lion yet - but I don't know how up close and personal I'd like to get with this lady.


There are more/different pictures that I have uploaded on facebook (Ginny Davenport)  if you'd like to see more.




 
Here is a snapshot of my most recent 'stick car' driving experience.  So much to see and learn ! Much love to you all!
