Zebra stalking
Marty’s photo of the day #4745: Zebras are very skittish animals. I had to stalk these two, almost like a lion would do, to get close enough for a picture. Photographed in Zimbabwe.
Western skink
Marty’s photo of the day #4744: Our dog, Nellie, gets the credit for this photo. Last night, we were out for a walk in the Essen Wildlife Refuge, when she insisted something to play with was under a log. I thought she’d found a mouse, but it turned out to be a western skink. When […]
