Interesting pictures for those of us who never see Africa in its green phase.

Thanks

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Those Lydenburg mountains sure has KUDU magic on them.

Nice to see that you had good rains there as well.

The first photo the bull on the left cannot see his tips properly from the photo but he looks very promising as well.
