Day 135 Some People Think This Guy Is Cute

I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder with this guy/gal.  Take a look at the tusks on the big guy in the bottom shot. I would not want to be chased by one of them. Off to Belt today to run the site for Bountiful Baskets; check out sheets and truck sheet printed, baskets ready to load and all is good. Sounds like we will be getting full baskets with some pretty yummy things.

Day 134 Great-Grandma, What Pretty Nails You Have

Becca did her great grandma’s nails this week. What pretty purple digits she now has. Becca, that was such a kind thing to do for your great grandma. She loved every minute of it and has been showing off her nails to everyone.

Day 132 Kenrick’s Starling

I thought for sure this was an Ashy Starling, but the tail was too short. So I had to resort to emailing Tom, our fearless leader, for an identification. Thanks to Tom, it is now correctly identified. Just printed off the check -in sheets for Bountiful Baskets and the truck sheets should be here later. I will then know what we are getting. Still have the 200 baskets to load and then I am set for Saturday. I hope I have lots of great volunteers to make the work go faster.

Day 130 African Grey Hornbill

I was not 100% positive that this was an African Grey Hornbill. The red bill threw me off as that is more like a Red-billed Hornbill. But after researching more of my books, it is definitely an African Grey female which does sport a red bill. Thank heavens for those wonderful books I bought.

Day 129 Miss Glowing Ears

Day 128 The Elusive Eland

This was the last antelope that I had wanted to photograph and we just could never find any. Low and behold there they were hiding behind  a herd of Wildebeest. No time to stop and shoot though, so this is what I had to be happy with. Later opportunities allowed the good shots that I did finally get that I have already put up here.

Day 127 Why Do Photographers Do This?

As you can see, my granddaughter, the photographer, has inherited her aversion to having her photo taken. Why do photographers do this? I just hate having my picture taken too.

Day 126 Happy Birthday, Becca!!

Becca had her family birthday party tonight, complete with homemade tomato soup, chicken noodle soup, freshly baked rolls and ice cream cake. Her daddy was the cook and it was delicious.  I finally talked her into posing for a quick birthday portrait in the tree in the backyard. Click on the pics to take a closer look.
