A few picture will follow of the Kruger National Park. Went there for a visit yesterday, and had a very successful day. Was beautiful, and everytime I got something nice to shoot, I wished all you guys & gals could be there to join me in the "hunt" for the Big 5. This is my first entry.. White Rhinocerus.These guys get up to 1.6m and weigh between 1600kg (female) and 2300kg (male). Although it was very close to us (about 25m) I didn't notice if it was a bull or cow, as the field is very dense, due to good rain in this area. I could almost never get "clear" shots an any of the animals, but hope you enjoy the tour with me.

In my opinion this looks as shy and modestly looking down female. Very impressive and tender portrait, Marietha.

Nice picture mrietha.
It is a considerable boy. There a bird sits now beside its horn. According to me, however.

If you love something, set it free. It it comes back to you, it is yours. If it does not, it was never meant to be. Wil

No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen. Minor White........ My Gallery

What an enormously large animal is this, I gladly do not want him come against. Did you stand really near by? Beautiful photograph
