Different shades of white

A few dreamy Antarctica shots.  I'm enjoying memories today.  

Two teeny birds atop an iceberg.

Paulet Island, where we encountered three million Adelie penguins.  Three million!!!

And the prow of the Plancius, heading into an Antarctic dawn. 

Breakfast time in Laikipia

Yes, it is a kudu.  At the breakfast table.  

And not forgetting the squirrel.

They do things differently in Laikipia.

More small things

I'm finding lots of small things today. 

The best chicken pie in the world.  Decorated with stars so it knows how important it is.

Gooey pear cake, made with those long thin pears which are ripe for about half an hour before turning all grainy and mushy.

Our first silkmoth.  I couldn't even feel her on my finger.

And not forgetting the garden.  Ecclesiastical purple and pagan green.

Small things

Pussy willows in our office.  I was once told that if you put them in water then they blossom and die.  So we keep them away from the smallest drop.

And my favourite photograph of my mother, as a toddler.
