weather and other generalities

Category: Maasailand weather report | Date: Sep 23 2008 | By: Seamus

Its starting to warm up here. And the fire season is upon us. The hills are hazy most days, and the smell of bushfire pervades, not that you can make it out so well in the photo.

maasiland weather report and: carnivore research goes botanical

Category: General, Maasailand weather report | Date: Jun 02 2008 | By: Seamus

Blue skies, a few wisps of cloud. Crisp early morning breeze.

And, in the spirit of “going postal” I present to you, “going botanical”. This is something that happens to lion researchers who go out looking for collared lions on several consecutive days and find them obscured by thick thorn scrub,.

(Kasaiyo the collared lion is in the centre of this photo behind trees. Once again.)

Maasailand weather report, and a short comment on environmentalism

Category: General, Maasailand weather report | Date: May 24 2008 | By: Seamus

Clear skies. Cool, becoming warm / hot later in the day. We had rain two nights ago (4mm).

Have you hugged your tree today, or climbed one? Go ahead and try it. I climbed one this morning and yesterday, in fact. Carson-esque environmentalism is not dead.

A room with a view

Category: Maasailand weather report | Date: May 18 2008 | By: Seamus

I’m curious to see just how mundane a blog can be before readers protest… this is the view from my office window a few minutes ago. And coincidentally the beginning of a new category of blog posts: Maasailand weather report. Trace, this is especially for you.

(7/8ths overcast, fresh southerly breeze, temps in the mid-teens celsius. No prediction of rain)
