2017-05-30: WPC Danger
This past weekend, my Mom and I were discussing one of her friends that is terrified of birds. So in honour of the topic of Danger, here is a post that is only spells danger for Norma Jean, and anyone else with ornithophobia.
Caution, beaks and feathers ahead!

After a few posts dedicated to my time with the gorillas, I thought I’d better get back to a bit of variety. I hope you enjoy my choices for Monochrome Monday.
Have a great week everyone!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Colour – Bright Green
Here is my photo for Cee’s new Colourful World challenge. The colour of the week is lime or bright green. This little bee eater, perched amongst the bright green leaves of several different types of plants, seems a good fit.

Bee-eaters
I saw several bee-eater species on my first trip to Africa, which have been featured on several previous blog posts: Carmine bee-eaters, Bee-eaters, Birds in flight
This past trip, I added the little bee-eater to my list of birds, and saw the white fronted and european bee-eater again. I’ve only ever seen the european bee-eater from far distances, so I am hoping some day I will have some nice close up shots to work with.
