Steenbok

Today's picture has nothing to do with what I've been posting recently from around here. It's a picture I took years ago that I happened across today while looking for something else. It was taken in southern Africa and is a steenbok, a small, very reclusive antelope. I think it's a really good photograph. I hope you like it too.

I've added a few new blogs to my Links section. Africa in Focus has superb photos from Africa. There are terrific Sandhill Crane videos. And I've linked to Mary's Faith, Fabric, and Photos finally too--her feeder bird pictures are wonderful

  4. I've noticed your comments on other blogs I visit and thought to visit yours too... and I'm glad I did. Your title picture is beautiful; a little wren I think? Your antelope picture is lovely too, so colourful and the subject appears to be so inquisitive. I have seen antelopes in Western Canada but do not how similar they are to this African one; I shall have to compare with some of my old photos. I shall also visit your very enjoyable blog again.

  6. Fabulous! I'm scheduled to go to Uganda this summer: I'm really looking forward to experiencing a new culture and landscape. I can't wait to check out "Africa in Focus" in the meantime.

  7. Thanks, Everyone, for looking! The little steenbok is not as large as our pronghorned antelope in the west. More like a white tailed deer like in my 3/11 post.
    Please feel free to put my link on any of your blogs. I have four I plan to add shortly too.
