Found The Elephants

We didn't see any elephants the first day.  The second day we went further into the park and found some parties of elephants munching on very dry plants and looking for shade in all the wrong places.

Curling The Petals

Yay!  I'm finally working on the flower itself.  Time to get cracking on the home stretch.

Squirrelly

Yes we go to national parks and take pictures of squirrels.  Don't you?


Dinner At The Lodge

The meal on our first night was served outdoors.  It was cooked on grills and we at at tables around them.  Every night at Mokuti lodge is some kind of buffet.  I started with mushroom soup and a salad.  The "wild" meat of the night was oryx.  It was overcooked, but everything else was really, really good.

Bring A Branch

I am really disappointed with the lack of contrast in this piece so far, but I did manage to get some of the branch done.

Racist Food?

Spur Restaurants in Namibia are a chain of low end steak houses that serve breakfast too.  They have a Native American theme that is quite patronizing.  The food was pretty good, especially for the price, but the decor ... needs to be brought out of its racist meme.  We had breakfast, by the way.






Round The Waterhole
