The young ones are always cute. I love the 'springbok atenna' shot, barryels. :cam:

Seems you had a 'smokin' jolly time in the land of the red dunes. :dance:

Thank you for sharing again. :thumbs_up:

Hi Barry and Hilda

Well, even though you didn't see any big cats yet, you saw a smaller one at least :clap:

In fact, you saw heaps of different animals and birds :thumbs_up:

I really like the springbok antenna photo :lol:

Very much looking forward to your next day :popcorn:
