Leopard at Lagoon (August, 2012)

[madaboutcheetah]

Not intentional ....... the cheetahs were asleep, and this dove perched on the stump next to the Truck!

[madaboutcheetah]

Haha. Or the Cheetah talking to us too?

 

Thanks a lot!

Hari you have excelled yourself. Love the Spencer pic, you capture his personality! Those Lagoon puppies, to think I saw the pack making their den choice back in June so great to see them so healthy and beautiful. Pen

[madaboutcheetah]

Thanks a lot, Pen ......

[Atravelynn]

Wonderful additions. You caught the flying mud off the ele!

[madaboutcheetah]

Thanks, Lynn

 

Those Zebras from Zebra pan finally arrive; actually leaving the pan (And) Wattled cranes having a scrap with a Blacksmith plover (Kubu Pan).

The big Lion pride made their way into Lebala from Selinda (Aug, 2011

[Sangeeta]

Oh my goodness! Gone for a couple of weeks and what a treat to come back to this... Don't think I've ever hit so many 'likes' on any one single thread so far

 

Many memorable photos, Hari, but what I find even better is that this so full of personal stories and memories for you. Like Jan's friends, the meerkats, it's nice to 'meet' the 'cheetah boys' and the 'Lagoon pack' through your eyes.

 

Keep interspersing those little stories too when you get a chance - really adds texture and interest.

 

Looking forward to tomorrow's batch now!

[madaboutcheetah]

Thanks, Sangeeta. You are too kind!!!!

 

Off to see "Skyfall" tonight - so, will upload more over the weekend amidst the Diwali parties.

[Sangeeta]

Don't let the cards distract you! Enjoy Skyfall.

Great series, Hari.

 

As the wife is away this weekend, I will try to help add to the collection.

 

Barely has time to breath this week.....

[madaboutcheetah]

Thanks a lot, Russell!!!!

Buffalo

Giraffe and Zebra (not far from Zebra pan; Lagoon) - they are all bunched up like this because there were a few very shy Lionesses around there. We tried to have a look, but, they did not allow us......... (best guess is, they are either from the woodlands or from Namibia and either way not used to game drive vehicles)

Waiting for some scraps from the wild dog den (2011)

[madaboutcheetah]

August 2012, these two images are from an area called "Muddy Waters" in the Lagoon area. Good general game, but, by golly some of those really fiesty Linyanti Elephants (will have more images when I get a chance to edit them) ..........

[madaboutcheetah]

Baboon also not far away!

[madaboutcheetah]

Pied KF and Martial Eagle @ Steve's Pan (sorry not a great shot of one)

[madaboutcheetah]

The famous sundowner spot at Twin Pools (this strangler fig tree had probably seen more drink stops when the area was dry - all of that water was nice flood plains with lovely termite mounds that cheetahs absolutely loved)

Boys of Lagoon at the Lebala airstrip (Feb 2011) heading South ......
