Lessons of the Mara 6: You can take too many pictures!

Okay, okay already. I know you're getting tired of all these animal pictures. I promise these are the last of the Mara (some videos may follow). We do love the giraffes.We watched this one eat for a while. They really have to straddle to eat from the ground.
They are funny, cute, close up.
And you'd think something this big would be hard to hide. It's not an elephant in the living room-- you can miss a giraffe.
Tom loved watching this bushbaby who entertained us each night at dinner time. It's a kind of monkey. The first night it came down and snatched a roll from someone's plate.
And here is the strangest wildlife of all.

  1. Who said they are tired of animal pictures and the comments that go with them? Not so here! You ARE on an African Mission and it does encourage other couple to consider a mission because of the wonderful experiences--spiritual and otherwise.
