This is one of my favorite places to photograph, besides my home.

This is the Eastern White-Bearded Wildebeast. He is sedentary, unlike his migratory Western white-Bearded Wildebeast cousin, which is darker and has smaller horns. He will migrate some, if conditions require, but he is not the one that participates in the great migration, typically.

Super Moon Rising

I shot this before 8 pm (everything rises earlier and sets later up here.) I don’t have a working tripod, so it’s the best I can do, but given what NOAA had to say about fog everywhere tonight, I thought those of you who couldn’t see it, might want to. I’ll get a moonrise shot, if I can. image

I am pleased to be able to continue for a while longer offering both Africa and Big Sur photographs. After 6 years, I am running out of Big Sur images and places I have not posted before, so I have the choice of publishing re-runs or just Africa in the near future. I have many more African photos I can share. Stay tuned to see what I decide …

Just for BigSurNation, I put a (c) on my Big Sur photo. 😉

And here is another Cheetah, as I just love this beautiful cat!

I have had a very full week between dogs, vehicles, and workers. Next week promises to be the same. I am still keeping an eye on things, just not publishing much beyond any emergencies this week and next, then back to the usual, I hope.

Sunday’s Sunrise

This was taken this morning from my front deck. One can see the rain coming down over the ocean. It never reached the shore down here, but I did get excited reports from Carmel Valley, Carmel, and Big Sur Valley. Very rare event for this part of Cali, at this time of year. This photo was taken with my iPhone and HDR pro, as the regular camera HDR on the iPhone did not pick up the subtleties of color in this beautiful artistic display by Mother Nature.

Only one each today, as I have been sans Jeep since Monday. It wouldn’t start up here in no man’s land, and couldn’t get a AAA tow out until today, so trying to upload from home, always iffy with photos.

Enjoy!
For Barbara: it is a cheetah, the only large cat that will not attack a human, even if cornered. We were on the Masai Mara Game Preserve. Didn’t get as close to her as we did the lions, maybe 50 feet here. Cheetahs are a little more skittish. When she was finished drinking, she wandered over to the top of a small hill, behind and to the left here, where she could lay down, and watch for prey. We followed at a distance, then left her to hunt, if she was hungry.
