My recent past

We played a game of Ultimate yesterday evening, until it was too dark to see and every pass was being dropped. It was the first real game of ultimate, where the people actually used strategy, that I have played in several years. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and escaped with amazingly minor injuries. Tobias and Aram were not so fortunate; when Tobias and I collided Tobias face-planted and got an impressive scrape on his face and Aram fell on some rocks (the field wasn't the best) and a good deal of skin that was intended to be attached to his leg.

Today we went on a game drive and saw all sorts of beasties, I took over three hundred pictures and I have deleted all but 71. Here are a few of the more interesting ones...


Zebras and an eland.
I don't think this needs a caption...

Cool birds. (Their identity is, as yet, unknown)
Another unneeded caption...
My niece, Priska, riding a rhino. (check out the facial expression :))
Me photographing a giraffe out of the land rover.
And, the Weirdabeast, (named by me because of it's strange appearance) it is another species that remains unidentified...

  2. The rino looks amazingly similar to the hippo we would always climb into (yes, into) at the St. Louis zoo. :-)
