There's something so enduring and solid about a mountain, that I can just feel the peace seeping into my bones. :) And, lately, I'm finding it more necessary than ever before to unplug from technology on a regular basis.Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-83066953936490569252014-03-16T13:24:25.553+02:002014-03-16T13:24:25.553+02:00Hiking the bush, or even better, the mountains is ...Hiking the bush, or even better, the mountains is great.

Those elephant matriarchs are scary, we've had our own reversing in a hurry incidents especially up round Sirheni in the KNP! Ended up with two flat tires and no garage in sight - but that's a bush adventure for another time! :)Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-49722397896504495522014-03-15T13:52:27.952+02:002014-03-15T13:52:27.952+02:00Hi Judy - makes me want to spend some time again i...Hi Judy - makes me want to spend some time again in Africa - but then I always do!! The Pilansberg was only just getting going before I left .. but it's great to have the Park that's somewhat nearer than the others ... <br /><br />I spotted the frog - clever photo .. and lions ... oh the Bush. We were chased by an Matriarch elephant in the Okavango and that was quite unpleasant ... she split our party of cars .. and wouldn't let us through .. we had to reverse quite often. We had somebody else's kids with us .. so it was a little daunting .. <br /><br />But wildlife is just brilliant - all forms ... the tiny dragonflies - excellent photo to the giraffe ...<br /><br />Lovely and am so glad you felt refreshed .. welcome back .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-23445883490167230212014-03-12T17:12:42.929+02:002014-03-12T17:12:42.929+02:00What a beautiful post, Judy.

Alas, not until July when I hit the beach. Yay.<br /><br />Baby elephant is so cute! Dangerous but cute. And how on earth did you manage to capture that dragonfly. They do fly fast!Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299643638346680038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-44832731307464455582014-03-10T16:45:31.340+02:002014-03-10T16:45:31.340+02:00BISH: I was going to be really mean and not mentio...BISH: I was going to be really mean and not mention the frog - and I was going to put in a photo of the lion & cub where they were both lying down. But nature's disguises are so good I thought my blog readers could use some help!! My late Dad taught me to look for movement & colours that don't belong, not shapes of animals and that's how I spotted both the frog & he lions! :) (and with a bit of luck too!)<br /><br />ANN: when you land at OR Tambo International airport I'll be there with some biltong and naartjies to welcome you!!<br /><br />JUDITH: Ja, it's been a tough time, but thank goodness for the marvellous generosity of the bush .., it always soothes and calms and gives us the energy to go on!

I can easily see how the bush can be a source of inspiration and renewal. The ocean has that same affect on me.<br /><br />(I didn't see the frog until you named it!)
