Still No Rain
Category: Issues | Date: Mar 19 2008 | By: tumaren
…but there is thunder tonight all around us and we are all eager for it to pour. All the dams in the area are dry and each afternoon the winds blow sand and dust into mini tornadoes. Depsite that our elephants are back and they usually only arrive back with us with the rains. Many of the Acacia mellifera bushes are just about to flower and this too often happens before the rains arrive. We are all very hopeful.
Just back from Nairobi and setting the camera trap with a bit of smelly meat. Fingers crossed.

James, sounds like a big bowl of water might do the trick of luring our camera shy critters. Hoping for rain big time.

Beautifully evocative, all very Grapes of Wrath (Elephants aside), have you considered a raindance?
Is that camera waterproof?

It feels very grapes of wrath and i suppose the elephants could be the mechanized tractors if we stretch our imagination, throwing dust as they bulldoze another wait-a-bit thorn tree.
My camera is very rain ready and if i can keep the bulldozers happy i will have an aardwolf before you know it.
