Odds and ends


Not too much to report this week. Work is continuing. It did rain here a few days ago, and not a light rain either. There was standing water in the morning. Lukcily it had been so dry that most of the water just soaked in and didn't make the roads too bad. But it is supposed to be the dry season. And that is what I want for my research this trip. So if that was a one-off rain event, no problem. Plus side: It has kept down the dust that had gotten so bad. But I hope this doesn't mean the rains have come early. They are not supposed to start for another month or so.

Meanwhile, here are a few random photos from last week.  Three white rhinos napping, and thinking about getting up.  They really are like big dogs sometimes.



Also, sometimes a photo like this reminds me how much bigger hybrid zebras are than their plains zebra counterparts. This male hybrid (on the Left) makes the plains males next to him look like small ponies.
