Hello again Luggers,
Here are two more pictures form Samburu - both taken by Esther with  
the GH2 and the 45 - 200 zoom.
When you start your first African safari you tend to shoot everything  
in sight - fearful that you'll not see another example.
After a few days you get more selective and by the end of the first  
week you are telling the driver to drive by scenes that you would have  
worked over when you were starting out.
Here are two early pictures of giraffes when they were still new to us.

And here are three young male giraffes fooling around. Our wild life  
guide Divya Mudappa assured us that the male giraffe mounting his boy  
friend was not gay - he was just showing his dominance as young males  
want to do.
