Still not done with the flu yet, I only get some three hours of sleep a night. So I am going to follow this little owl’s instructions and have an early morning nap.
See you later 🐊

As Keeper Walter exclaimed, it looks like they're throwing Laikipia a mini party! The big bull at the back was rescued as an orphan and raised through our programme. Now fully wild, he returns from time to time – and when he does, the whole herd gathers.

Good morning. Happy Tuesday.
A strong base, deep roots, allow young branches to endure this cold, to reach the light.
Have a wonderful day.

A Golden-crowned Kinglet about to bop to another branch while looking for small insects. Even in the winter, these little birds eat three times their body weight each day.

Good morning, Bluesky friends! I found a bunch of Dwarf Iris’s while walking around my neighbourhood and thought I’d share a picture. It was taken with my iPhone 17 Pro.
