I have been playing around with PhotoMania on facebood and found this effect in the Artistic section. I really like it, I must say.
I was surprised to find the zebra difficult to find when we first began our journey around South Africa, but after the first couple of weeks, we came across quite a few. They are my all time favourite African animal.
This Magpie visits our garden at least three times a day as Peter gives it meat to feed it's babies. Today it arrived with a gift for Peter to thank him.

When we were driving around Kruger we came across this Giant Ground Hornbill - what a prehistoric looking bird.
Ilulissat Icefjord, one of the northernmost UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is a massive collection of icebergs that have calved from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier.
Sermeq Kujalleq, aka Jakobshavn Glacier, is the fastest glacier in the northern hemisphere, moving around 40 meters per day. It drains 6.5% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces around 10% of all Greenland icebergs.

I have been going through my photos again today and I came across these photos that I took early one day when we were staying in a hotel in Hartlepool in 2011. The call of the birds woke me early and at first I thought they were bats.

Winter has now arrived in Australia and the insects have packed their bags and headed north for the Winter. These are some of the last bees that I saw in the garden.
I have not been commenting as much on Flickr as I am still having so much trouble with my hands. I am finding it difficult to do anything, let alone pick up the camera and as it is only 6 weeks until we go to Africa, I am beginning to despair. The tests showed no Carpal Tunnel, but the doctor now wants me to go back to see the surgeon who may suggest some more cortisone injections which will hopefully relieve the pain
When we were in Kruger I arranged to meet up with Piet (at the Satara Rest Camp.http://www.flickr.com/photos/oom_piet/) There were plenty of photo opportunities with lots of birds flying around. I love the Hornbills - such unusual birds. It was lovely to meet another Flickr friend face to face.
When we were staying in Ludham, Norfolk, we took the paddlesteamer from Horning along the River Bure. It was a lovely trip with beautiful scenery and lots of lovely homes (I hate to imagine what they would cost). Most of them had boat garages where they could just cruise along the river and put the boat in safely on their return.
Sorry for so many photos, but it was hard to choose out of the hundred or so that I took LOL.

My hand is a bit sore today. I have found I have a couple of good days and then a couple of bad days to bring me down to earth LOL. I am still trying to take it easy, but it is so boring. Thanks to Brian @ Bury St Edmunds (UK) I now have an ID - "Peruvian Lily".

Arundel, West Sussex is a beautiful place to wander around. We have been here a few times (also stayed there) and although the weather during our last visit was overcast and misty I still took some nice photos.

I thin it is a wasp of some type on my Pansy in the wheelbarrow garden

As you know, my 50D died the day before we left South Africa, so I decided to upgrade with a second hand 7D. It is a new learning curve, especially as the manual was all in Japanese LOL, but I have worked out a few things. I have ordered a new book and waiting for it to arrive. I will get a quote for repairs to my 50D, but as I have seen them go on Ebay for around $380, I am not sure I am willing to pay too much for repairs.
People have been asking me how my hands survived the trip - the splint was a real help with the pain. In fact the pain seems worse now that I am home and back to doing the mundane chores that I was free of during the trip. I am booked in to see the surgeon again on the 11th September.

We stopped at one of the rest camps in Kruger to buy a drink and as we walked up to the kiosk, this baboon came down and took off with a drink. I followed around to the back of the kiosk to watch it open the drink forcefully and proceed to drink it LOL.

Some more photos from Wednesday - way too hot to go out in the garden today - up to 42C in some parts of Sydney
After saying that I was disappointed not to see any zebra during our stay at the camp, on the last game drive before leaving for Capetown, I saw two lots - one a mother and baby.

One of our day trips from Bewdley in Worcestershire was a visit to Llangollen in Wales. What an interesting place!! We stopped for lunch in a cafe overlooking the River Dee where we watched the river running swiftly past as we ate our delicious food. After lunch we walked up the hill to see the horse drawn canal boats - very interesting.

Today the temperatures have dropped by around 20C and this is how I would like it to be all Summer.
We dropped my grandson at the airport for the flight home to Hervey Bay. I think he found it a bit boring hanging around with Nan & Pop, but we had some of his cousins over a couple of nights and he stayed over with a friend and cousins for a few nights, so I think he had a good time catching up with everyone.
