Perhaps you heard a rumor that I was in Africa. It's true! My husband and I had an amazing adventure and are now processing our many photos to prepare a photo presentation. So we'll leave Leadville for a while and I'll take you to Africa.
I knew for sure I had arrived in Africa when we saw giraffe grazing in a field right near the airport. We saw all kinds of animals and today I'm sharing the first animal we saw after entering the Samburu National Park - an ostrich. They are HUGE and appear to be rather unbalanced but they get along just fine. Saw an ostrich eggshell somewhere and it was about the size of a cantalope. Here's a photo of the little ostrichs, too. They certainly blend into the background so should be quite safe from predators. I wouldn't think there are many animals who would approach that big mama!
