Waterfall in NC

I love this photo of Peter and a good friend of ours. I set it as the background on our computer (which I change nearly every other day) and it gives the desktop amazing depth! (At least it gives the illusion of depth.;-))

An African Wedding

On the Way to Church

We drove part of the way and walked the rest. Mostly because the car wouldn't fit on the road at that point.

The Perfect Day for a Mud Bath!

Makes you wonder why they named it Addo Elephant Park...

A South African Elephant

Notice the spider web in the foreground? The visible contrast between the delicate vulnerability of the web and the sturdy, potentially destructive force of the elephant is amazing. (The elephant ended up turning around, leaving the spider web unscathed.)

Home Again

We made it home! And so glad to have done so too! I have been spending the last week catching up on sleep and unpacking - and unpacking and unpacking... We got to stop by my mom and dad's house on the way back from VA to MS and spend the night. That was really nice. I hope to spend even more time with them before they leave for Africa in a few months.


This photo is of the lioness we saw in Addo Elephant Park near Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Of course, we zoomed in on her but she really was quite close to us. I am not good at judging distances but she was close enough for us to talk very quietly and not to want to hang any limbs out of the window! If you look closely you can see blood on her chest and face. :-o
