I believe this to be a Greater Blue-Earred Starling. (Shot at Kruger Park)

Wine bottles long forgoten on a windowsil in a wine tasting cellar. Somewhere out of Stellenbosch (I know I must have spelled that wrong)

Have you ever seen a clear winged butterfly? Yep, they do exist... We found these in an off road butterfly park about an hour out of Capetown

UPDATE: 8/5/05 The Oregon Zoo has a butterfly exhibit with these butterflies in it! They call them "Costa Rica Clearwings" It's wonderful, and well worth the extra admission to stop in and see all the butterflies. Although they were listed on the board as being there, we didn't actually SEE any of these flying around or on bushes. :( The person there said they were having some troubles with them in the exibit.

Klipspringers stretch in the early morning light at Kruger Nat'l Park. These little guys are less than 2 feet tall, I almost missed seeing them standing right there!

Hello from Mr Giraffe! Did you know you can tell the sex of a giraffe from the presence of or lack of the hair on the top of their horns? Which do you think this one is?

These are Egyptian Geese, aren't they gorgeous!

another Egyptian Goose

This bird is very dificult for me to identify, it could be a couple of things, but my best guess would be an adult Martial Eagle.

Dragon fly

Sundried hip bone. This was very large, 3 feet from end to end approx? Who knows what it belonged to.

This looks like an adult Swainson's Francolin to me best I can tell.

This is a Kori Bustard as far as I can tell from my books.

I pulled out my bird books to identify this little guy/gal. They are very hard to identify, but I do believe it is a Francoliin. Looks most like a Swainson's juvinile to me.

A baobab tree along side of the road. This photo doesn't show the enormous size of these trees, this one could very easily be 75 feet around in circumference. They look like the roots grow from the top of the tree.

A male baboon came right up to our car to check us out. I couldn't get the feeling out of my head that he was there to intimidate us. They make direct eye contact if they can, it's weird, and you aren't supposed to if you can help it.
