Soras are usually hiding in the reeds and not often seen. But what happens if you catch a nice juicy bug to take back to your kids, you’re at the edge of the reed bed, and you need to cross an open stretch of water?
Well, this Sora decided to sprint for it!

I’ve got the quilt top done and ready to go to the longarmer. May have to wait until after New Year’s as I’ve got a full schedule until then. These Australian Aboriginal fabrics make me so happy. They are vibrating with life!

There are many species of Hornbill in Kruger Park, South Africa and we were fortunate to see a few of them.
This African Grey Hornbill was admiring the sunset while perched in the tree, before eventually taking flight!

They are around virtually every marsh and their calls are part of our summer soundtrack.
This male Red-winged Blackbird was hanging out on the reeds surveying his kingdom!

They are more than 5.5 meters tall and often tower above their surroundings. But in the forests they call home, giraffes are not always the tallest things around!
This is a Southern, or Cape Giraffe in a lush forest area of Kruger National Park, SA.
