I cannot seem to get the images below to separate!
Happy New Year to all NNP blog readers & you will be DELIGHTED to hear that the park looks fabulous right now after Xmas Rains, which have filled up the dams & got all the vegetation growing again.
Below are a few images for you: storm clouds over the park, a Crinum (pyjama) lily, a Black stork fishing in floodwater, a tree (Kigelia africana) coming into bud, a ground orchid (Bonatea speciosa) shooting from it’s underground tuber & lastly, an acacia tree (Acacia gerrardii) coming into fruit/flower owing to the Rains….

Stunning images Willie. Dark skies have never looked so beautiful!
Happy New Year to you as well! What a wonderful sight to see the park so green and knowing wildlife has food and water to gain it’s strength after the long drought.
However, the rains came very late and does this mean it’s more and more difficult to predict the short and long rain periods..
