meetings, office work.
I haven’t been able to get out into the field today. I spent most of the morning in the office, and this afternoon met with Ian Craig to discuss a plan to bring some scouts from Malako Conservancy down here, to teach them some lion biology and large carnivore conflict mitigation.
Here is a photo from yesterday, when we showed JC around the study area. She represents the Panthera Foundation in the UK, and came to have a look at what the Lion Guardians are doing.

Ian Craig? - I’m impressed :>) It’s great that the Lion Guardians are getting well deserved exposure.
Dass cool, as the fav tribal elder says. That landscape is masterful. Now where was the colour button again? You know I am a colour junkie. And oh yes what’s with the feline domesticus playing in the light (or shadows) in the flikr gallery?
Ah. I was waiting for someone to notice. That’s “Samira”, a beautiful Abyssinian that belongs to my associates Mike and Debbie. Just to remind people that I like all kinds of cats, not just big ones.
Hi there. I see you got sexy flickr icon - no grovelling required!!
Fab landscape photo - like it lots
yeah. I think it was more laziness on my part that led me to ask. I tend to forget that I have the wisdom of the ages at my fingertips and all I have to do is ask the omniscient googaloracle. I should know this because of the smallyellowbird that sits on my shoulder.
so, what do you think of the current events in South Africa?
Ha! are you sure that voice in your ear is not sometimes more crow than canary? A black rainbow bent in emptiness over emptiness, but flying…… (Thanks, Ted for lending last words) Beneath the surface glitter of the plot there lies a deep mythic plane. You present it well in photography choosing to lose the colour dimension……. as for EsssAy: deeply unsettling for we are all migrants, strangers in strange lands. The house divides in yet another falling apart and unloosing of mere anarchy. The dominoes have been tumbling south for a while now. In so many ways.
Not a crow my dear. An owl perhaps. Is that Mr Hughes perchance?
I have to agree that pretty much everyone is a migrant on some level. Fossils don’t lie (I guess they do, in situ)… the cradle of mankind and all that, but at the end of it all we’re just temporary residents of whatever chunk of earth we land up on?
