Leopard in a Tree

We were on a leopard hunt.  Sister Moon
stopped to take a photo of this tree.  When
she looked closely, she saw the leopard up
on the branches.  When they found the rest
of us, we hurried back to see the leopard
and discovered 5 elephants standing under
the tree.  It's hard to see them in this picture,
but they were there.

9 Hungry Hippos in Clear Water

We were amused by their honking sounds
and their little ears which whirled around.

Following the Crocs

We were on our own--no guards.
Beautiful clear water straight from the spring.
Can you see the crocodile?
Sister Harris enjoys the beauty of the park.
The springs are her favorite part.
