This so, so tells a story. Whimsical and fun, definitely. And a mighty fine photograph! Just love it.

Callie, I missed this one first time around! If you keep posting great pictures from Lake Panic hide there is going to be no room the next time I go (I favour around the corner on the right)

We like the corner, that was when I had the 600 f/4 on the Wimberley and plate, now I can handhold with the 500 PF.
Your side is where most of the animals can be seen
I hear LPB hide is currently bone dry

 

[ingweDave]

Shame! They are probably draining it to use on Skukuza golf course!

 

[Irap]

Great capture Callie, I haven't seen a Squacco before, neat bird great color.

 

[Ralph]

Excellent!

 

[Woody Meristem]

Great catch -- noting like being in the right place at the right time and having quick reflexes.

Amazing image, well done.
