Safari!

After a series of delays it was already too late to see lions in the Nairobi Game Park. Fifteen year-old Ben was bouncing up and down with excitement, however, as we began to spot other animals.

Black on white, or white on black?

Fascinating how giraffes sculpt the trees!

Not wanting to miss anything, we munched on protein bars through the lunch hour.  Terry busied himself looking up various birds.  The driver was surprised as we kept calling, "Stop, please!", when anyone saw  a bird.  He wasn't used to stopping for birds.  I wish I had a picture of the secretary bird.  If Terry had had his camera, we would've had a great picture, but he'd run out of charge, and had forgotten his charger. A fairly large white bird with black tips on its wings, it sported a  black feathered crest like an Indian headdress turned sideways. 

The day that had begun so frustratingly turned out well after all.
