Here are some random photos that I thought you’d enjoy from my recent trip to Africa. The first two are from an experiment that Neil (the husband half of the couple that I Couchsurfed with in Cape Town) performed. I mentioned to him that I thought everything was connected in the world. Much more than we realized and he agreed. He took two pieces of clear glass and placed a dab of toothpaste on one of them, then he pushed them together and pulled apart. This is what the results were. The first one is with flash and the second without. As you can see, every pathway is connected to another! I thought it was pretty cool!
These ostrich eggs were quite bright and artistic!!
This photo is from Namibia. It is a social weaver birds’ nest. They were flying in and out as we stood watching the gigantic nest!
Also from Namibia…a herd of Ostrich!
This was potato placed into a shape to dry. Not really sure how you eat it! From Malawi!
As you can see….a lizard or gecko!
These little boys were at a stop in Namibia. I gave them a beach ball and got back on the overland truck. When I looked out at them, the one on the right rubbed his tummy to indicate he was hungry so I threw a banana and an apple out to them.
This lady was at the same stop as the boys above. Her colorful quilted jacket was quite decorative! Lots of living on her face!
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July and I’m grateful I live in the U.S. (but can travel to visit other places)!!

Indeed I enjoy. They lady looks terrifying, sorry
She is kinda scary!
Some really interesting photos here.
Thanks Lynne!
Love the variety of the collection. Thanks … and have a Happy Fourth! FYI: I believe free choir games concerts at 11 am on Fountain Square starting either today or tomorrow.
Yes, the World Choir Games begin today, July14 through 14, at venues all over the city.
Thanks Georgette! Happy 4th!!
Thanks Frank! I headed to a pool party and then perhaps to see Huey Lewis in Blue Ash!
great pictures, as Oztrekker says the lizard is a chameleon. I think in the USA you refer to anole lizards as chameleons as they can also change their skin colour, but they are more closely related to iguanas than true chameleons.
Thanks Simon! I love learning new things!
Great pics again! So, when are you coming to Belgium?
Are you inviting me?
Gosh, we don’t have a spare bedroom. You would have to sleep on the sofa!
I’m going to be couchsurfing, staying in hostels and inexpensive hotels!
Consider yourself welcome in our humble apartment!
Thanks Ingrid!!
Lovely set of photos… some one must tell the chameleon that hes standing on red and must change colours…
Ha..ha! I didn’t think of that!
Great pictures. You must have some wonderful memories from this trip.
I do! Thanks Anneli!
Cool shots. Love the chamelian. Confused by the potatoes
Me too!
That is quite the eclectic collection! Great photos, every one. Happy 4th of July to you. We don’t celebrate it here but we just had our similar holiday July 1st.
Happy belated independence day to you Michelle!
Heheheheh! Thanks. We just call it Canada Day though.
Oops…I should have looked it up! Now I know!
Great pics, would love to see more. I have never heard of decorated ostrich eggs – they’re beautiful!
Emu eggs in Australia are a very dark emerald green in colour. The Aboriginies do a scratch art on the eggs which is very beautiful as well, though the eggs aren’t quite as large as the Ostriches…
Sounds beautiful!
Thanks Shelley!
It’s not a lizard or gecko, but a chamelian. Their colour changes with their environment, and amazing animals… They used to crawl up my arm when I was a kid…
Thanks for the info!
