"Splish, Splash"

Northern Mockingbird - Santa Clara Ranch; Starr County, Texas

Splish splish, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright.

When I saw this Mockingbird bathing and suddenly explode into the air, I couldn't help but think of the words to an old Bobby Darin song, Splish, Splash.

Ultimate Botswana - Photo Adventure

Botswana, Africa

Imaging a world where land and sky stretch on forever and days are miles and miles of open country without a soul in sight. A land that's home to the world's largest elephant population, where herds of giraffe, numbering upwards of 50, watch curiously as a lone safari vehicle passes by. A place where nights are campfires in the bush beneath an African sky filled with stars, your senses filled with the sounds of a distant lioness calling to her pride as you drift off to sleep. If this is your vision of Africa, then Botswana and this adventure are for you.
