Etosha is dry in the summer months when there is no rain and the animals head to the waterholes for water. Often on their return you will see altercations breakout. Most of the time they do not amount to much but occasionally they can get pretty rough. The two zebras biting in this image looked a little more serious. All turned out well though and they were soon on their way.
Wishing you a lovely and blessed Sunday !!
a bee (what else 😂), for a change in a different environment. no flowers...

A long weekend down in Kent / Sussex produced a mixture of fabulously warm and sunny weather and, more typical for the time of year, dull days with a biting wind. One of the sunnier days was last Friday, which also came with some early morning mist to add to the atmosphere.
In this shot, framed by the signal gantry, a Southeastern 10-car train catches the sun trying to break through as it approaches Sevenoaks station with the 9.51am Tunbridge Wells - London Charing Cross (2H74).
Built by GEC Alsthom at the Metro-Cammell plant in Birmingham, 2-car 'Networker' unit 466009 is leading, with a pair of 4-car class 465s, units 465927 and 465931, on the back.
Looks best full-screen.
Apologies for tardy responses recently - should catch up over the next couple of days.

A bull elk uses his antlers to scratch and drive off biting flies on a warm day in Estes Park, Colorado. The bull and his harem retreated into Lake Estes to cool off, but the flies continued to plague them. If you look closely, you can see a few of the flies on his upper leg and rump.
This shot was taken on the first day of our fifth trip during 2022. It has become an annual tradition to visit Rocky Mountain National Park for the elk rut.
Well, this guy was either very clever or strangely confused....fishing for something...money? That other person’s cell phone? A compliment??? I never found out.
In general, Vaska is indifferent to shoes (unlike our previous cats). But one of our guests wore knitted slippers, to which Vaska was clearly interested :-) HAPPY CATURDAY!
Thank you all for visits, faves and comments - greatly appreciated!

This is Gracie Jo, the semi-feral cat we are trying to coax indoors. Today's forecast was for a "wintry mix", lots of wind, etc. At lunch time, Gracie Jo ran pretty quickly to the back door (before I could take her food up to her heated area in the workshop), so it seemed like a good time to try whisking her inside. I got her into the laundry room without her biting or scratching me. Just about that time the wind picked up and the rain turned to sleet & I think Gracie Jo must have been okay with being inside for a little while.
Be prepared she said
But then I forgot the map
Man, I’m really lost.
My keychain safety items: 1) Cash canister with $20 note in case I'm ever standed in Arizona and need money for a beer and cheeseburger, 2) My trusty multi function Victorinox knife in case I need to cut down a tree to make a fire, 3) A mini LED flashlight in case I find myself in absolute darkness and need to see what’s biting my leg, and 4) A whistle in case I fall off a trail, roll down a steep ridge past a big log and get wedged under thick brushes next to a mosquito infested creek.......and need to get someone's attention. Submittal for the Feb 1, 2021 Macro Monday’s theme of “Safety.”
The structures on the right of the shot are the remnants of the railway which was built during the construction of the reservoir and they are usually at least partially submerged. High & dry, climate change sure is biting!
I found this on an old sony cybershot i used years ago (2004) . it would fit in my back pocket ,but died in a rain storm. These lizards mating rituals can get a bit rough.picture taken in lincoln national park
A candid street photo of a young man who successfully holds concurrently positions of the lifeguard and a happy fisherman. He catches fish while there is nobody to save. Or maybe he is off-duty or the park beach is closed for swimming due to approaching hurricane or just the summer rain. Anyway it's biting. Well, is he going to catch a lovely blonde mermaid? May the good luck be with him.
BugGuide identified this as a non-biting Midge. I hadn't seen one before but that's just me ;) I find it quite interesting that it has interesting mouth-parts, like two little arms with which I believe it uses to hold it's food while it eats it. It also has these very interesting and quite fuzzy antenna. Cute for a bug - in my opinion and ever better when it's a bug that doesn't bite me!

Two Black-tailed Godwits (Limosa limosa) were fighting for the territory during a foraging break with their long beaks. They were biting each other with long tough beaks and engaged in locked beak state for sometime before the ending. Most classic is the posture of the left one with open wings to adjust the balance in this tussle. Pics was taken from Mangalajodi wetland, Odisha, India.
A biting –19°C winter day in Hjerdalen, where the sun pushes through frost‑laden birch trees and turns the deep cold into something strangely warm. Soft shadows stretch across untouched snow, and every branch glows like it’s holding its own quiet ember. A perfect moment from the slopes above Sollia, captured in the golden calm of a Telemark winter.
Fun fact: In very cold and dry air—typically below –15°C—sunlight often creates stronger golden hues because tiny ice crystals scatter and reflect light more efficiently, giving winter scenes a surprisingly warm color palette.
More than a week ago I got a lot of bites that made me very itchy, could this kind of insect be the culprit?
I need to find a good remedy for this...
Another scene from the Euryops daisy patch, where most of our action is now. At first glance, I thought I'd caught a mosquito, but something was missing...Seek indicated "non-biting midge", a different Dipteran for this Fly Day Friday. HFDF!
This coastal brown bear yearling is rolling on the ground and chomping on its claws while giving a glance in my direction. Probably looking to see what's making that shutter sound as the cameras click away around me, capturing some endearing moments in the life this young cub. Momma bear was very close by during this.
Taken 5 June 2019 at Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you′re gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn
