A rare opportunity, being in the right place at the right time for such a beautiful photo. Amazingly, we get these same butterflies in Kenya

2 years imprisonment and, or a fine of $11,527 for hunting any mamal, bird or handling sea shells without a permit is a serious offence. Poaching of Elephants, black or White Rhinos is punishable with a life sentence and or a fine of $264,000 if caught. Other endangered wild animals, birds and butterflies are similarly protected

Default Can you see?







Chameleon the female, no horns and 3 horned generally are male. Both were chance encounters, seen crossing the grassy drive. Taken using an iPhone 4s, the first 2 yesterday and the third, recently

Thank you Steve Both these Chameleons hardly stopped for me, as they crossed the drive and I kept my distance, because I did not want to frighten them. In courtship male to female, the male will change its camouflage many times over using vivid colors to impress and seduce

Thanks for sharing those Phil

Sounds like a useful party trick the male has

Thanks Jeff, the photos were taken using the iPhone you sold onto me last summer. It is perfect for these unplanned moments, also my first crack at wild life in ages.

The best camera in the world is the one you've got with you to allow you to get a shot
