Good for you.
I haven't given it much thought, but must make an attempt at it myself one of these days.

And you see it was not that much of a story Now if you look just below any of the photos you will see three lines of code as in "Linked Medium:" Now you click on the code and it will highlight and then you copy it and past it into your post and the photo will display, like this



Now the next thing we need to get you to read your PM's

Congratulations, Gromit! You did well.

Yesterday, I went to Walt Disney World with my daughter and two youngest grand kids (5 & 7). We spend the day in Animal World and most of the day in the Africa section. They have a ride, African Safari, that is an open air ride in actual bush trucks across a reconstructed African plain. It includes fake termite mounds. They elephants, cheetahs, hippos, black and white rhinos, giraffes, and a variety of the antelope/deer family. We saw a cheeta and a lion sleeping just like in your photos. The giraffes walked right by the truck; the kids were thrilled. I really enjoyed your photos - which were taken in real Africa.

 

[DaveM]

Carl I would have loved to seen pics of that

The paw under her chin has blood on it - the kill was in a tree about 10m behind her!

Bring the kids on over - I'd love to have a car load of kids and take them on a trip through the bush!

Not sure if that post is a big joke or if you're serious.
If I had a car load of kids and went on a trip through the bush just the car and myself would exit the bush.
Given the choice of burning bamboo under the fingernails or a road trip with kids ... hmmm, bamboo sounds like a winner.

Oh dammit, I'll just have to have a Guiness when I get home now. And here I was trying to cut down on drinking.

My AA membership fees are now gonna be forwarded to Gromit.

Ha ha. I'm actually serious - kids are the BEST spotters for everything that moves. They're way better at spotting well camoflaged animals than I am. And they're excited about seeing new things and their excitement is contagious. I love being around kids as long as they're over 10 years old. Besides, by mid-afternoon they're shattered and fall asleep - if that doesn't work, there's many a way to spike a sodapop!

I will try to get the pics from Christy, I did not take a camera as I knew I would be riding home in the rain - which turned out to be a monsoon!

Gromit, both of my daughters are planning a trip to SA, possibly next summer. Whether or not Christy and Tony will take the kids is up in the air. I may go to Denver and baby sit. Christy, Sheryl and their respective hubbies want to climb Kilimanjaro. What Mae Lyne and I would like to do is come with them and baby sit in SA while they go off on their climbing adventure! However, $$$$ is the problem for Mae Lyne and me.

Carl, that would be great. Kili is quite some challenge but no so much that they need months of training before hand. It's cold, cold, cold and altitude sickness can be a problem. Sooner they do it the better - the snow cap on Kili is melting quite fast. Tanzania is a beautiful country. You & Mae Lyn come and babsit in SA and we'll take good care of you
