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

street vendors along side the highway coming down into the Low Veld to the Kruger Park.

A busy street corner, everyday life.

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!
