The waterbuck (kobus ellipsiprymnus) is a large antelope found widely in sub-Saharan Africa. The waterbuck exhibits great dependence on water. It can not tolerate dehydration in hot weather, and thus inhabits areas close to sources of water.
Kruger National Park is a South African National Park and one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,623 km2 in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 km from north to south and 65 km from east to west.

I found this little harbour seal on the beach and monitored him. He was dehydrated and weak with no sign of mom. Some other people told me they saw him there for 48 hours so I called Marine Mammal Rescue and they came out to rescue him. Hope this little one recovers soon and gets fat and healthy so he can get released back into the ocean. The marine mammal rescue have updated me his new name is Floyd he has a small infection in his umbilicus, and is dehydrated and weak but hopefully will be on the mend and released back asap!
Macro Mondays theme Slices
DIY homemade dried lemon and lime slices. Image measures 6cm in width. After deliberating all morning as to which photo to post, I finally settled on these cirtus slices I had spent most of Saturday dehydrating in the oven. I hope it was worth it 😊 HMM

The waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) is a large antelope found widely in sub-Saharan Africa. It is placed in the genus Kobus of the family Bovidae. It was first described by Irish naturalist William Ogilby in 1833.
The thirteen subspecies are grouped under two varieties: the common or Ellisprymnus waterbuck and the Defassa waterbuck. A sexually dimorphic antelope, males are taller as well as heavier than females. Males reach approximately 127 cm (50 in) at the shoulder, while females reach 119 cm (47 in). Males typically weigh 198–262 kg (437–578 lb) and females 161–214 kg (355–472 lb).
The coat colour varies from brown to grey. The long, spiral horns, present only on males, curve backward, then forward and are 55–99 cm (22–39 in) long.
Waterbuck are rather sedentary in nature. A gregarious animal, the waterbuck may form herds consisting of six to 30 individuals. These groups are either nursery herds with females and their offspring or bachelor herds.
The waterbuck cannot tolerate dehydration in hot weather, and thus inhabits areas close to sources of water. Predominantly a grazer, the waterbuck is mostly found on grassland. Waterbuck inhabit scrub and savanna areas along rivers, lakes and valleys. Due to their requirement for grasslands as well as water, the waterbuck have a sparse ecotone distribution.
The population trend for both the common and defassa waterbuck is downwards, especially that of the latter, with large populations being eliminated from certain habitats because of poaching and human disturbance. - Wikipedia
A January ritual for me to dry fruit slices for this and that.

He - So I am ignored just so that she can have a sip of water.
She - And we both have to be dehydrated because he wants to chat. He doesn't know yet we'll be having babies soon.
I actually don't know which bird is the father but just assumed that the bigger one is the male. Will appreciate being corrected if I am wrong.
A little more flat lay.... Dried my oranges using my Ninja Dehydrator... Great for decorations and photography.
Still not sure if I'm getting the hang of this 'flat lay' but I'm having lots of creative fun trying...
Have a fabulous Thursday...

We've enjoyed some delicious meals from these beautiful and edible fungi. Hen of the woods roasts very nicely.
I harvested this clump first, and there were 3 smaller ones neaby. You can just barely see one of them in the upper left, behind this one. I gave them a few more days to grow. One was still small on Sept. 29 when I harvested the other two. Apparently they dry nicely, so I plan to put some in the dehydrator.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

Have a great day, everyone!
I recently referred to a mushroom as frozen when it was actually dehydrated. There's a bunch of older mushrooms and they loose moisture as they age. Next came a week of clear and dry air with night temps in the 30s. Those nights helped to dehydrate and cause desiccation of the mushrooms. Next has been a week of night temps in the 20s. All of the desiccated mushrooms look like this ~ Gray. I've read that they might last some time like this. It's the young Mycenia with thin cell walls and a lot of moisture the melt away when they freeze.
Taken from the main nature trail through the South Texas Botanical Gardens, this is the start of a boardwalk crossing what should be the wetlands on the banks of Oso Creek, which eventually drains into the Laguna Madre in Corpus Christi. It has been so dry here that the creek has mostly dried up at this location. Instead, now we have a small series of isolated (and evaporating) lakes that are failing to provide fresh water to the lagoon.
Father and Son, Coconut merchants on Boca Chica beach
selling coconuts
to tourists.
dehydrated and miserable
they will never be tourists
they will never lay back on a chaise lounge
and have a clean beautiful hotel room
they will never fly away
they will never drive home
they will never know whats its like
to have a fistful of money in their pocket
they return to a dark dismal dusty dingy hut.
they will sleep in 90 degree heat
they will sleep on the same filthy mattress with others
they will eat rice and beans and maybe a piece of fish
they will feel and totally understand that they are poor
and that is their lot in life
and nothing they do can change things
NOTHING!
they know they will be there tomorrow
as sure as the sun
creeps up again over the horizon.
they know that unless they walk this beach every day they will suffer from hunger
as the tourists stand around and watch the sun go down,
the father and son walk hurriedly off the beach.
they are glad the sun goes down
it is no longer their beach.
they might also get robbed. these days. in the DR.
its is a hard life filled with struggle and pain and have to's in order to survive.
the sun is their enemy.
this is war
this is life
this is a battle
against the elements
they hate the sun!
and
many Dominicans are afraid of the sea!
Photography’s new conscience
One teaspoon (5ml) of freeze-dried red onions.
I don't have much to write about the product as I usually do, but I'll note I found it on prominent display at a market and had to try it. After I was done with the shoot and in keeping with Flickr Rule #1, I added the teaspoonful to some marinara sauce that went on pasta for tonight's dinner, with flavorful results.
Just add rain...
Was working at the Maydena Bike Park last weekend. Maydena is up the road from Russell Falls and the Mount Field National Park and I called in on the way past. Was hoping for the shot I missed last time I was here - sort of got the shot but missing the water...
It was a good exercise nonetheless, had the waterfall and her spirits to myself for a while :-)

A very big 'Thank You' to everyone that views, faves and comments on my work! It's really appreciated :-)

I liked the abstract look of these apple chips underneath another empty tray after I removed them from the dehydrator.
