FATTY'S CATCH OF THE DAY ...

I FELT BAD FOR THIS CATFISH, IT FOUGHT HARD....BUT SORRY TO SAY I WOULD SAY "EAT FISH FATTY" OVER ANY OF MY FURRY FRIENDS!!!

WOW ! That is one big Catfish ! Danged near as big as Fatty, it was. I've seen Fatty 'shopping' for lunch a few times but never seen him 'get' it. It must of been very exciting to see. Mothernature also said she could never have watched had it been one of her furry friends. And I can understand how she feels. She knows that it happens, she chooses not to watch. As for me, I would. To watch an animal do what it's made to do is a privilege. Yes I know, it's not always pretty but then life isn't. I know not everyone feels as I do and that's OK. What's right for me doesn't make it right for you. Thing is, Mothernature and I (and 99 % of everyone who cams) respect that about each other. It's what makes us, us. (There has been a time or 2 we've been up against someone who tries to tell us that the way they feel is the only right way, but not for a while now). Anyway I've begun to ramble and I'm sure your here for PICTURES not my view of life. So on that note I'll finish this post off and move on to the next one. Gots some exciting stuff for ya. But unless your reading this right after I post, you'll have already seen the 'exciting stuff''. Sometimes it's hard when I post in the order it comes in but end up backwards here. But then your probably all used to that by now LOL.

HAPPY VIEWING !!

Thanks for sharing this. I have trouble seeing Fatty catch anything let alone being quick enough to snap a photo. "KUDU'S" to you (get it kudu not kudo Ha Ha).

.

Sorry bout that, a little slap happy here. Got up to a unlit pilot light on the stove and it's a bit gasy in here. But I have relit the stove and all is well. (yes DaveKay Booger is fine)

.

Until later HAPPY VIEWING !!

CATCH UP #2

UMMM a bit too close for me

Still a bit close...

Much better. Fatty is best viewed from a distance. Unless it's on cam

Now this is new for me. Never have seen a fish at Pete's, heard lots of them though. Nice cam work.

Things must really be slow in Africa, 2 visits in 2 days to the Snow Monkeys. And I believe all cams are up and running too.

HAPPY VIEWING !!

PICTURES OF THE HIDE

These are only a few pictures I managed to get of the hide. Afke was nice enough to take us on a tour and I was in such awe, I forgot to snap. Sorry. She says there will be another tour tonight/tomorrow morning! The first two are the usual, Fatty and Marsha Millipede. Then the hide! ~ Katie Girl

Bit to up close and personal for me

I was busy over on the drive and missed it all. Thanks for sharing.

HAPPY VIEWING !!

FROM KATIE GIRL

I decided to stop taking pictures and keeping them and start sending them to you. Nothing new or interesting. If I want an animal to appear, I just have to leave my computer for a few minutes!! LOL The first 8 are, of course, Pete's. The last two are from Minnesota with a picture of the new cam at Fall Lake. Things are getting really pretty there! ~ Katie Girl

Ya know Katie Girl it is about that time of year to start really checking those scenic cams. Will be lots of pretty scenes with all the colors. Thanks for the reminder.

HAPPY VIEWING !!

SURPRISED ME !

With the water so low at Djuma I thought that the resident Hippo(s) had found a deeper place to call home but look ~

a Hippo
Wasn't sure at first but indeed it is. A duck (?) climbing on the Hippo

Hey you know you got a duck on your head ???

Waterbuck is wondering just what is going on

Steps up for a closer look-see

Does that Hippo know there's a duck on it's head?

I already asked that and I guess it does.

Well it's a bit to weird for me, I think I move down a bit.

Mud's deep but at least it's not so crowded.

Fatty hanging out

Guess he didn't like the scenery here because he turned around and headed back across the pond.

Lone Ostrich approaches the pond

No problems quenching his thirst

Drank for a while then just walked away.

This looks like a good place

Ahh yes, bath time

feels good

now on to the preening
