Why am I suddenly overcome by sad jealousy? 😉
It’s Africa calling!
Wonderful shots! Is that a hermit crab, he’s so cute?
Spot on, Jude – we found the little Hermit Crab and his beautiful mobile home on the beach at Mission Rocks in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park
I’d love a mobile home like that! 🐚🐚😀
We have much to look forward to. 🙂

I have never seen a dog with those colors…here in the U.S. The dog looks kind of hungry….
That’s a prime specimen of our African Wild Dog, Mary. They’ve never been domesticated and are highly endangered. And you’re right – this one IS hungry; here he is stalking a herd of impalas.
