Hi there,
It's pouring cats and dogs right now and it's only supposed to get worse over the weekend. I thought that a bright flower might be in order!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. Have a wonderful day!

It is a resident breeder in most of sub-Saharan Africa outside the rainforests, although it has seasonal movements.These are conspicuous and unmistakable birds. They are large brown waders with a black crown, white forehead and large yellow facial wattles.

African Buffalo or Cape Buffalo (syncerus caffer) is a large and powerful bovine, the African Buffalo reaches shoulder heights of up to 1.5 m and a mass of 750 kg. Both sexes have horns, those of the bulls are characterised by a heavy boss and upward curved horns. Buffalo herds can have significant ecological impact on the veld. Being a bulk grazer, they are responsible for converting long grasslands into short grassy environments conducive to other browsers with more selective feeding habits.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

a small non-aquatic kingfisher found in woodland, bushed savanna and coastal forests. I had seen it a few times over the years but this was the first time I was able to photograph it.
This bird was looking for prey in the grass below its perch.
They eat spiders, grasshoppers and many other types of insects but will also take small lizards and frogs.

Grevy's is the largest of Africa's zebra species, and the most mule-like in appearance. Here a herd of Grevy's feeds in the evening before sunset. Because it lives mostly in desert areas, Grevy's zebra is endangered from lack of food after a long drought. Zebras in Samburu National Reserve have access to water from the Ewaso Ng'iro River, but food is scarce and daily haying efforts are helping to keep animals -- not just zebras but also oryxes -- fed. ©2022 John M.
