PLAYING WITH MACRO AGAIN........! ! !
Had a little fun the other day with some Pixie Caterpillars and a Scarlet Drop-wing Dragonfly. It took a bit of patience with the Drop-wing but I think worth it.

South Coast Storm......!
Just a few images from our December holiday down at Ramsgate, on the South Coast of South Africa. I unfortunately did not have to much time to set up correctly and just hoped and prayed for at least some images.
Not 100% what I was looking for but I think a good result!
Enjoy!!!

3 hour game of Cat and Mouse.........Em..Buffalo ! ! !
The pride had been hanging around the camp for a few days, as it had not rained since April and the camp has a well stocked watering hole, where animals have congregated every afternoon for months to quench their thirst. Large herds of Impala, Zebra and Wildebeest arrive at the water-hole throughout the day, very nervous and ready to take flight at the slightest desturbance. Old Elephant bulls and herds of 50 to 100 Buffalo amble their way to the water in the morning and generally leave around lunch-time, having wallowed in the mud to cool themselves off.
The pride of 5 lioness and coalition of 3 large males know this and have been biding their time waiting for the rite oppertunity. On this day a small group of Buffalo bulls came down for the daily beauty treatment sometime during the afternoon. Because of the heat of the day, the lions lay up under shaded trees, watching these old grumpy male buff, picking their target! A lone bull which had lagged behind due to a broken rear-left leg became their source of interest and the battle began!
Through the next sequence of images, it is noted that the males were the only lions trying to hunt, with the females in the background none to interested. The Buffalo would turn tail with the male lions close behind and then the buffalo would turn to face them, scatering the male into differant directions through the bush.
This cat and mouse (buffalo) game carried on for about an hour and a half, and the lions started getting tired and eventually lay down to take a rest.

3 hours after the lions had started their hunt they eventually took down the crippled Buffalo and were awarded with a hard, but well earned meal!
