Thanks for the link, Bill. I've got to get my camera out more often so I can take some nature shots.

3 years agoHey, thanks for thinking of me! I was disappointed reading the narrative above, thinking you hadn’t bothered.
3 years agoOh yeah! The dubbeltjie is what we call goat heads here in the US. Nasty invasives indeed!

Much enjoying the nature photos and especially the ones with IDs.
When I was growing up in Umtata in the nineteen fifties we had annual bike registration and had to fix the tag under the front axle nut, no quick release for non racing bikes then.

3 years agoWith our plans changing back to what they were the Little Karoo is up next so hopefully that can add some persuasion as well.
3 years agoOK, you’re starting to make a case. This may need to go into the hope chest.
3 years agoExtraordinary photo!!!
3 years agoI know, I know. I should have stopped and taken a photo or two. They mostly just scarpered as we approached but there was one male who sat on top of a fence post that I should have taken advantage of.
3 years agoHey, why no photo of the baboons?

3 years agoHi Scott.
The Karoo can look severe, maybe boring or perhaps even daunting. Yet I really enjoyed traveling through it. The space and emptiness opens up other things that we might not always have the chance to look at. We will probably be returning to the Eastern Cape via Route 62 which passes through the southern sections of the Karoo known as the Robertson Karoo and the Little Karoo. They are quite different to the Great Karoo and Upper Karoo with a lot more recorded history and development than further north.

This looks not unlike the landscape we’ve been cycling through lately. Throw in a few saguaros, and this could be Arizona.
