We took a quick afternoon drive to the game reserve this afternoon.
Thanks to all the rain we had earlier this week there are pans of water all over
This White Faced Duck swam up and down, turning and posing and stopping to stare at us.
His friends were not as bold.

These buds were little brown tufts a week ago. Soon they will become beautiful red
bell-shaped flowers with a mass of pink stamens.
Unfortunately I do not know the name of the thorny succulent.

This Hibiscus probably thought the weather was better on the other side of the fence.
The shrub is in my yard and the bloom on the outside facing the road.
After 124mm of rain in two days, today was quite hot and humid
