Thanks to the Canon-eers who advised me on camera settings. My photos are still not sharp but I had to read the manual again.
As for the avatar... :blushing: what lion can resist that smug face...
For those of you remembering the Drakensberg weekend: NO, we had no mampoer, because drinking and lion-ing don't go together, LOL!
LOL No, mampoer and lion herding do not go together! So, no mampoer. Tahlita and I had a beer though. I can't resist a "cold one" when it get soooo hot outside. Oh btw Harry, 32.5 degrees was what my thermometre in my car showed when we left. Though, the car was standing in the shade. So can you imagine how hot it was out in the sun?

Zel a promise is a promise! Not one word form U! :m_wave: :tt2:
Thanx every one it was lots and lots of fun even if i almost had to change after the lion charged:scared:. But likely I had my sharks T on and He got frightened.
No one bother to mention the temperature because it was Hell hot. We are having a heat wave.
PS the reply from Zel may contain Violence and very strong language
LOLOLOLOLOL So I won the filthiest feet competition. I do not need to tell you what was the first thing I did when I got home do I? LOL Yeah, those are my too very dirty feet beams very proud giggle Harry! Siss on you mate! LOL @ any reply from Zeldie may contain violence and strong language! LOL Harry. I wouldn't have posed my pretty little dirty feet for you if I didn't have a care in the world! ;0) What does the rest of RR think? Don't I have the most beautiful feet in the whole wide world? giggle

It sounds fabulous and I can hardly wait to see the photos. The group shot is terrific and I love the new avatar Piet, I really like the hat too! ;o)

Those are respectable feet and the nails are so nicely polished! LOL ;o)

Only Twinkle toes, Zeldie!!! So wish I could have been with you all. Cannot wait to see the pictures. All are looking good on Oom's capture. Very "snappy " shirt Oom :-) if I make make so bold. LOL. Have a great day all, I eagerly await uploads. . . Diane. ------------------ "Horses lend us the wings we lack." Pam Brown.
@ Kiera: No Kiera, you are not allowed as a non-South African, hang on, you said chocolate waffles? I am emailing my details right away... :unsure:
@ Diane: Thank you Di, that shirt was to distinguish me from the "tourists" lol
LOL Harry, I sure did catch a fright with that one who wanted to jump me. Now Oom Piet, that's a lovely piccy of Esté and myself don't you think? With the lions behind us? And I wasn't even scared! Just think how strong and brave Esté and I felt all of the time! Or was it because Oom Piet and Harry accompanied us that we felt so "safe"?

It really looks as if you had a great time. What a day out that must have been. I hope we are all going to see lots of pics of my favourite creatures in the world. It would take me a day just to get there - coming from a cold and damp UK!! My one wish in the world would be to play and roll around with a lion/lioness. I don't suppose you've got one who likes to play have you Piet!!!!!
By the way, Piet, I like your new avatar. In the last one I thought you looked like Alan Whicker but now you remind me of someone I know. It seems you have a 'lookalikey' in the UK!!
This whole hang is having too much fun. This is so cool to see that you have met through photography, and have so much enjoyment together. Going to have to find a name for you now.
Now get them feet cleaned Zel!!!!

Haha looks like you guys are having a great time now Piet must have had these as pets!! Wink wink or you are all as nuts as him!! Turning your back on a Pride of lions!!! What a wonderful way to spend some time together!!

Hi everyone.
It is good to see that everyone enjoyed their day at Bona Bona. It is always a pleasure seeing everyone, even the feet, the behinds etc. LOL. I had a violent lightning & hail storm last night, so only posted this morning. I think I'm a RR addict now! So many interesting folk!
Hope Vernon recovers - better get some ointment for that. The UV index is pretty high the last few days. Even the lions took cover. LOL
Have a great week!!
Regards
Anton
And once again Tunde comes to the rescue! Actually Doug, that was the first thing I did when I got home - grabbed a footbrush and soap, jumped in the bath and started scrubbing away. I HATE filthy feet! Nevertheless, I didn't mind Harry capturing my happy feet and showing them off.
Yes, we had a marvellous day. My arms are a bit sore from sunburn, but it will come right in the next couple of days I guess. :0)) Thank you to Oom Piet and Tannie Petro for being our hosts. We had such a marvellous time, I'm thinking of making it a permanent thing whenever we're in the area. Oom Piet? Harry? Are you in?

Zel: I need little persuasion to make it a regular event.
Kiera: some more facts about Skewebek , the trouble maker.
Tunde: I am glad you enjoy this. I have only one concern: It seems my SA friends are hesitant to upload their behind-the-scenes photographs? Do they have good reason? :b_rolleyes:
I haven't gotten around to editing them yet Oom Piet. Some of us still work this time of the year remember? 
I will make a point of doing just that, as soon as I get home tonight. Can't edit on these pc's at work cause they pre-date from the days of Noah and the Ark :tongue1:

...don't forget me, I am in too. Oh I am living in australia..bugger I miss it again. grrr. But yeah if my valet will ever let me, I will plan my first holiday overseas there right at a lions doorstep and nobody will move me untill I get in ( with a guid his name is Piet) and have my shot of them! LOL
One thing interesting, they so calm. Wonder why, perhaps because they keept behind fence and also get use to human interaction?
seeyus Tunde
Yes Tunde, you're spot on with that - sadly so. Oom Piet explained this in one of his uploads last week or the week before that? It just doesn't sit well with me, seeing these magnificent, majestic animals caged in like this. But it's caged in, or hunted down by hunters or poachers. And I'm not even going to begin to tell you about canned lion hunting in South Africa. It's a sad and disgusting story that do not agree with any animal lover's good conscience.

Hi there everyone!
I thought of starting a thread and sharing with you all, another meet. This wasn't a weekend and it was actually such a quick get together that I still can't believe it's over!!
Oom Piet (Busi2Ness) was bragging the past few weeks about his Lions and Bona Bona. So, I (we) put him to the test and arranged a day at this lovely place. And boy did we have fun!!! Who joined us? It was myself and my family, Oom Piet and the Tannie of course, Harry and his wife to be and Esté and the man in her life.
It was fabulous!! We didn't do half the stuff I wanted to, nevertheless we laughed a lot, we took a lot of photos and I think we had a splendid time! Now Harry, if you upload that pick of my filthy feet, I'm not talking to you again!! ;0)
Oh!! Did I tell you? One of the lions stormed Harry!! Yes!!! Why? Cause Harry wore a Sharks T-shirt that's why of course! You mos can't wear a Sharks T-shirt in Blue Bull country Harry! What's wrong with you?!? giggle Ok, I'll shurrup now and leave the rest of the story up to the rest of the gang!
Oh, just an afterthought... That new Avator of Oom Piet, is thanx to me. I let something fall yesterday that he's "prettier" in real life than on his Avator. giggle (The Oom is going to kill me for this!! ) So we all suggested he get a new avator giggle
