These shots of the Warthog were taken after Judith and I left the
boat on the River Shire, Malawi. We found a tall
hide overlooking this small waterhole.
For Friday’s Hunt the prompts are D, Favourite and Beautiful.
All these photographs we taken in Malawi THIS year. D
is for my family’s new dog named Toto however I think all three photographs are
beautiful and so I am leaving you to choose a favourite! The bird is a African Firefinch.
I am linking this post with WEEKEND REFLECTIONS & FRIDAY'S HUNT.
Many
thanks for your visit and also to all those people who leave comments.
The warthog is one of those animals that only it's mum can love. Lovely images of it though.
ReplyDeleteThe Firefinch is truly amazing, the colours are amazing
Cool captures along with its reflection.
ReplyDeleteToto is my favorite of course, but I do like the others as well!

ReplyDeletevery cool wart hog...what a beautiful bird!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret, great reflections and sighting of the warthog. The dog is adorable and I love the beautiful bird. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the longer view with the tree and in which we can see the size of rhe pool.
ReplyDeleteLovely warthog pics Margaret. Enjor your time in Costa Rica.
ReplyDeleteDid you count how many different animals you saw in Malawi? It seems you have seen a vast number & variety!
ReplyDeleteToto is a cuddly looking dog!
I always wonder if animals know they're looking at themselves??! Probably not, but it makes me chuckle to think about it!
ReplyDeleteGreat reflections of the warthog.
ReplyDeleteWhat are these nice pictures Reflection. The animal on the water wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Eva
Nice captures of the warthog. Lovely series
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. When my son was born I called him my little warthog because he was snorting instead of crying! Toto is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteThe Warthog is quite a different looking animal. Cute dog, gorgeous flowers and a very pretty/colorful bird.
ReplyDeleteReally cute critters! Even the Warthog.
ReplyDeleteHeyyy, it's Pumba!! Great photos of the warthog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful finch!
ReplyDeleteI agree about all three photos being beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice reflection of the warthog. Maybe he looks at himself?
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
Nice photos! Is the warthog thirsty or just a narcissist. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow...that is a very cool wart hog? Is that the same as a wild boar? My husband and sons both have wild boar trophies that look a lot like that guy! That bird is gorgeous and those flowers also! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute dog! And that bird is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou would not want to tangle with those Warthogs.Lovely picture of the flowers.
ReplyDeletegreat reflections of the warthog
ReplyDeleteA great opportunity to capture the Warthog shot Margaret. Your Pup is a cutie, "I don't think you're in Kansas anymore Toto..." The flowers are beautiful as is the wonderful colours of the Firefinch. A beautiful bird indeed.
ReplyDeleteGreat images. That Warthog is really something!
ReplyDeleteThe Firefinch is beautiful and shy.
ReplyDeleteIt is red-faced.
The Warthog is such a great animal! I'd love to see one, just to able to say (something like) "Warthog! Over by that dead bush!" !!!

The warthog is not something I'd like to meet up with on a hike, an unusual and scary looking beast.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you combine, Margaret, or I wouldn't have seen the warthog pictures. I've never seen one that I can remember of. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYour dog named Toto is my favorite vote, all around. We had a little dog named Toto, she was half Dachshund and them some more smaller type other half. A very nice little dog that as an escaped puppy begged Mrs. Jim and our daughter, then preschool, to be adopted. Our later dog, Katrin, a small French Toy Poodle, looked more like yours. She was an adult, belonging to our friend who died.

We have visited N.Z. and Australia, including Tasmania on a Princess cruise. I'd liked to have heard one of your lectures. We won't ever visit Malawi though we have been to Egypt. Also Ireland, but stopped driving up before hitting North Ireland. Have you been to the Isle of Man? We love it, my mother's family were Manx and the line has been traced. I don't have that anymore if I had, but they Google (John Corkhill--with or without an "h").
TMI again (I'm sorry), but I love your travel animal pictures.

HI Jim MAny thanks for the comment and i am so glad you saw the shots of the Warthog. Actually, I am always going to put Friday's Hunt with weekend reflections and post it on (my Friday). I have been to the I.O.M formy first flight when I was 9-10 years old. Athough we used to own an old converted fishig boat and the first weekend we had it, we took it over to the I.O.M.
DeleteHi Toto!
ReplyDeleteWarthog is very cool. At least from up in the blind!

THe flowers and the bird have matching colors! Toto is a cute fluffy pooch. Great shots of the warthog and glad you were a safe distance from it.
ReplyDeleteEach Friday Hunt photo is beautiful in its own right. I didn't realize warthogs are quite handsome. Some women would envy that reddish brown hair color.
ReplyDeleteThe View from the Top of the Ladder
The warthog is certainly an interesting animal; kind of an 'only a mother could love' sort of a one. What an amazing world we live in -- and you have seen so much of it! That is a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a Warthog, but I feel like I have now. What an interesting animal. You photos are wonderful and show me such vivid detail. You are going to need to watch Toto because he may be of the bloodline what will have him trying to get back to Kansas. Thanks for your visit and comment about my silly making a snow angel. The falling was easy...how I got up was a struggle. And Bud could not help because he was taking the photos. That face plant was COLD.
ReplyDeleteThat warthog is terrifying. I wouldn't want to run into that!
ReplyDeleteThe dog is absolutely adorable.
Toto is pretty cute and looks as if he is hiding behind his bangs. Pretty close to that warthog. I have heard that they are pretty aggressive.
