A DAY ENJOYING CREATION

We took a day off recently to visit a nearby wildlife sanctuary.  What a joy to see God's beautiful works.  The animals seemed to be enjoying the beautiful weather as much as we were.  I thought you would enjoy seeing some of the sights we enjoyed.

 

A busy warthog

Isn't this a beautiful creature! This is a Bushbuck.  

This bird is called a Bee Eater.  There are several types of Bee Eaters and I am not exactly sure which one this is.  We saw several of them.  They are beautiful!

This is the same kind of bird.  I thought you would enjoy this funny picture.  The bird turned its head and we ended up with a full face picture. It is so exact that you can only see the very end of its beak.  You can see the beautiful plumage better in this picture.

There were several of these big boys on an island.  This one seemed to be enjoying the water.  We estimate that they were at least seven feet long. Of course, we took this with the camera on zoom.

I really, really like this picture. I managed to catch this fellow as he turned to look at us.  Just look at the stripes! Notice the gorgeous background. 

We saw quite a few zebra.  Those bumps on the ground are most likely blesbok, another type of antelope. There were a lot in the park.

How can we not praise our amazing God when we spend time in his creation? When I look at a Zebra, I imagine the Lord actually having a lot of fun!
