As the voices speak...: Some kind of wild....

So a week into 2012...it's been an up and down week with tears and laughter. I'm still on leave for a few more days and think I'm ready to go back and face the hecticness of the month or two ahead. I think its the first time I feel RELAXED... ...the fact that I'm reading my third book in two weeks can vouch for that...since I'm not really a reader.... ...odd I know.

So my sister and I embarked on our annual trip to Krugersdorp to visit our friends at the Lion and Rhino park. I love this annual trip for a few reasons:
a) I get to spend the day with my sister and her kids,
b) I get to practice my manual focus photography on my SLR, and
c) I get to enjoy God's creation.

We had fun this year...then we always do and even got caught in a thunderstorm. I walked past 6 ostriches with my niece on my shoulders so that we would appear bigger than them so they wouldn't attack us... ...it was something I learnt as a kid, if you come across an ostrich, make yourself as big as you can... ...so since my niece and I both needed the bathroom which these 6 ostriches happened to be 'guarding', I went forth with my sister and nephew in the car, probably laughing their heads off, but the ostriches did leave us alone.

So, I thought I'd share some photos for ya'll...
