I, of course, love critters. Any kind of critters. And, I recently rediscovered Africam, which has a series of cameras trained on water holes in Africa. It's fascinating to watch and stunning to realize that you are seeing elephants, water buffalo, all kinds of antelope, lions and many more of the African animals, live, right before your eyes. They're six hours ahead of us, so the best time to watch is in the morning, on the East Coast. But, two of the cameras have night vision capability, so you can see critters come to the water hole all night long.
I have taken to keeping a window open to the Elephant Plains camera all the time, and checking back regularly. There's sound, also, so, I have the sound of birds and insects as a background, as I use the computer. You can find the cameras here

Of course, the day I decide to blog about this is the day that the Elephant Plains camera goes down. They're working on it. Hopefully, it'll be up again tomorrow. The other two cameras work fine.
If you haven't found it already, try it, I think you'll like it.

Well at least you didn't claim they were at the backyard feeder!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
It sounds like a lot of fun. I loved your Sunday out the window pictures too. I think I like your place the best when the trees are bare. They look so huge and majestic. Pewter day is a wonderful description and something I don't see often here.--Inger
THANK YOU!!I did not know about this!!!
It has been bookmarked.
13 working days until retirement!!!I'm taking my last day of vacation today. 4 days this week, 5 next week and 4 the next.
Madi has no clue what is in store for her as of 4/1/11. On the weekends she follows me alot becasue she knows I'll do something fun or possible drop some food. She'll be worn out after one day.
Hugs Madi and Mom
Thanks Louise, I'll check it out.

We like to watch that too. The night sounds are really nice to listen to. Sometimes you'll hear a big "PLOP" when something BIG jumps into the water. ooooooh.
Hi Louise!
Looks like a cool place to visit!
It's pretty neat, to be able to watch the action so far away. Thanks!
Neat-o! I'll give it a look!
