I am guessing this is some kind of a moth? Not sure. This is in Zambia. It was on a lawn chair. #Insects #moths #photography #wildlife

This #wasp decided to have a drink of water from the pool I was in on this hot Livingstone day. Also posed for me quite nicely. Any ideas of what kind of wasp greatly appreciated. Could not find #Insects #Zambia #Photography #Nature

Baboon with a view....That's the bridge between Zambia and Zimbabwe, an old structure in serious need of repair. But the baboon doesn't care! #Mammals #Baboons #Victoriafalls #Zambia #Wildlife #Nature #Photography
Baboon on a rail at Victoria Falls, with the bridge between Zim and Zam behind. Many many baboons at the falls. No fear of humans. Don't bring food! They will grab it. And those baboons are very very strong.

Good morning from Mosi-oa-Tunya, The "Smoke that thunders", also known as Victoria Falls for all you colonists! Water is low, hot season kicking in. Devil's Pool awaits! #Victoriafalls #Zambia #Livingstone #Photography

A skeleton walks into a bar and says to the bartender," give me a beer and give me a mop". Yeah I missed a word last time. Why don't they have edit on Blue Sky? 😃

Leaving in a week back to the USA. Melancholy moments. Will miss my family here. But Zambia can be exhausting in its own ways. I am still not sure where I belong. Weird feeling that way at 70 years. #Egret #Birds #Travel #Zambia

I am not the white Chief in the NW region of Zambia...But I played one on TV! #afrikawala #Zambia #Acting
Dressed in Zambian tribal outfit for a photo shoot. There is really a white Chief in Zambia. Zambians are very cool about this and love seeing people adapt and enjoy their culture. They think that "cultural appropriation" is complete bullshit and so do I. Zambians are far more accepting of people of all colors and backgrounds than Americans. That's for damn sure.

Good morning. Thank you, Peter Max, for the psychedelic era art work that defined much of those times. I am sure I had at least one of your posters on my wall. Loved your work. May your memory be a blessing. "Universal Harmony" by Peter Max, 1937-2026. #PeterMax #Psychedelic #Art

This is his good mood..... #Africanbuffalo #Mammals #Wildlife #Zambia #Photography
A close up of an African buffalo looking directly at me. The thing is I was using a 300-600 Zoom so I was not that close. Duh. One of the meaner wild things of the big mammals of Africa. This was during a safari drive in South Luangwa NP in Zambia.  Superb area.

Would you trust any page coming out of this US Government right now? The Blue Sky page of the "Consumer Product Safety Commission"??? "Benign". Nope. Not until sane people are back in Fed control. Blocked. You may wanna do the same.

It's actually a young male, saw the balls hanging as he walked over. We saw a lot of lions! Actually through most of the safari we saw none. then as we were leaving, we found a pride feasting on a giraffe and then after that found another pride stalking (very lazily) another giraffe in the distance.
