Serengeti Day 3 Part 1

Ok, continuing in the series of posts from Neil’s recent trip.

Nothing new to report at home so let’s get right to it.

We headed out on Day 3 with our first stop at the kopje where the pride with the cubs was found. This little guy (and it was almost always the same cub as best we could tell) really loves using mom’s tail for a toy.

Looking ahead…we’ll probably be another 3 weeks posting images as Neil slowly culls through them and gets it down to a reasonable number of picks to denoise and process.

Interesting things found on the net…only 20 images today so I can put some of these in.

You may never have heard of the plant Brassica Oleracea, but six vegetables you can find in any grocery store and you eat on a regular basis are actually all from this one plant and they’re all human made products of selective breeding. All of the following plants were derived from it…and Neil eats exactly zero of them…well, he will eat cabbage if it’s on a fish taco.
