Last weekend before our leave

On Saturday Grant collected me at home for a ride through the mine. We spotted quite a few birds, a lizard or two and some beautiful skies and clouds. We stopped on the outskirts of town so that I could take a photo of the area where [I imagined] our house is! 
 Well, not exactly where the arrow is pointing; we live about two rows of houses back in the middle of town 

A little further along on our drive, Grant stopped the car to speak on the phone. I took a photo of the road ahead.

 Further along, Grant stopped again and I decided not to be lazy but to get out and take a photo without the buddy whip in the foreground! 

We spotted quite a number of birds, ducks and even watched as a Black Kite swooped down on an unseen prey on the dam's edge.

No trip around the mine is complete for Grant unless he stops off at the overlook to the mine pit 

I hope you're all having a wonderful week.

Illusions



Hi Bozo, all is not what it seems in the photo above. Our mom beginning to pack up "stuff" and arrange things. We smell the proverbial rat! We bet they're going off on holiday again! Oh well, let us sleep on this problem...The Tanzanian Trio : Ginger, Shadow and Ambrose

Family reunion soon!

Son, John and daughter-in-law Debbie and their precious family are on their way from Mozambique to Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa. They will be in SA the same time as us. We fly out home next weekend and return to Tanzania in Mid-December. So there will definitely be an opportunity to meet up with all our children, family and friends in the three weeks we're out on leave.

Meanwhile John sent me a couple of photos taken in the Kruger National Park, to whet our appetites!

I hope you're all having a great weekend.
