Feb. 5, 2018 Tarangire National Park, Day 2:

WP Weekly Photo Challenge this week is “I’d Rather Be…” Back in the winter (although admittedly mild) weather in Chicago, I look back on our sojourn to Tanzania with longing, as I do with any trip we take, so I’d Rather Be Traveling.

I’d rather be riding in a bumpy, dusty Land Cruiser…

and watching creatures great…and small…

and in between.

I’d rather watch egrets congregating on the banks of a lake…

and male impalas grazing.
I’d rather be photographing birds, such as this ground hornbill with a snake in its mouth…or this crowned plover looking for bugs next to our vehicle.

I’d rather be spotting animals in the distance, such as a group of oryxes (the only oryxes we saw during our safari)…or a male ostrich….
and a female ostrich.I’d rather be at Tarangire Safari Lodge, watching the sunrise…
or sleeping in our tent cabin.
So how soon ’til we hit the road again??!
