Under the beautiful dome of the African sky, on a farm in Zambia, I write mostly about the natural world. My name is Shelley. I live with my farmer husband, our student daughter (when she is home) and three dogs. My glass is nearly always full and my cup of tea has to have sugar in it. Crafting, sewing, reading and writing keep me busy but at any given moment I will drop what I am doing and go outdoors because Nature is miraculous, wonderful, and always there.
Fun With SCIENCE!

Been a while since I have seen a hippo in the wild. Nice.

The grunting of hippo, together with haunting cry of the Fish Eagle are so evocative of the Africa I love.

I love these pictures of the African wildlife. I was born and raised in the U.S. and have only seen animals like these in a zoo. 🙂

Thank goodness for zoos – otherwise so many people would never have seen a hippo at all 🙂
I’m glad you like the pictures – there are more coming next week.

Lovely photos. We were taken to see some hippos when we visited a Masai village during our holiday in Kenya. They are a wonderful sight and sound. 🙂

I didn’t realise how dangerous they were until I read Wilbur Smith’s ‘River God’ some years ago. They always look so placid. 🙂

They do look placid, cuddly even – but the reality is quite different!
