Today was not a good day for me. In my rush to get to the bank on time and having to remove things from behind the passenger seat, I did not close the door properly and it swung open as I reversed out of the garage and bashed against the garage entrance.  Worst of all is that I have just confirmed that my insurance excess is R2500! The price of stupid/forgetful/old age/absent mind - whatever! 

Today I post a few photos taken this month - I never drive past a pile of dung in the game reserve

because often one is surprised by the beauty found in a pile of dung!

Perhaps this thought will motivate me to stay positive under the circumstances....

A beautiful female Stonechat. The male has a prominent black head and
dark brown front with a partly white collar.

Another wonderful morning spent in the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park.
We saw Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, Gnu, Nyala, Impala and Warthog.
At last I managed to get a photo of a blue Dragonfly at the bridge where I stop on every visit!
I have taken many photos of red ones, but the blue ones don't come by too often, and when they do, they are always on the move. This guy rested long enough to allow a photo.
