We’re going to South Africa!
My boet (brother) is getting married so we are going down to South Africa for 10 days; and I am really looking forward to being in Africa again. I love Latin America (and the people); same for Europe; and southeast Asia; but nothing is like returning back to the drumbeat of Africa.

To corrupt an old saying: you can take the African out of the bush, but you can’t take the bush out of the African.

Fantastic photos of some spectacular birds. Great job, Dale! You’ve certainly whetted my appetite for Africa. I can’t wait to see one of those sunbirds.
the sunbirds are great – a few weeks travelling around SA and you could pick up a dozen species including the fabulous Malachite Sunbird (and the Sugarbirds are great too).
Bon voyage, Dale. Looking forward to lots and lots of new photos when you get back.
thanks Wren, I’ll be sure to take and post tons of them…
Wow, Dale, you sure know how to fan the flames of envy. Great pics, but I bet you come back with better ones.
