FRIDAY'S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS

This week Friday’s Hunt is the letter Z and I have an image of a Zebra that I photographed at Kruger National Park, Africa, Favourite and Holidays.  Well that was not too difficult as I am on HOLIDAYS in Malawi.  Every   Christmas it is traditional in our home to make a Gingerbread House so I bought 2 kits in Northern Ireland and took them for my 2 grand Children in Malawi and the day after I arrived them made them.


Every ZEBRA has unique strips and there are 3 different species in the world.
Plain, Grevy's and Mountain.  


This is Annika above with her Gingerbread House and Daniel below with his.


The REFLECTION shot was taken of me by Daniel  when I was in a very small pool they have at their home where I was trying to cool off. 



 I am linking this post with Fridays Hunt and Weekend Reflections.

You may have a favourite this week.

Many thanks for visiting and also for all your comments.

  1. Great zebra shots! Did you know the stripes are not just on their fur, they are on their skin! Your grandchildren are the CUTEST!!! They are divine, with their freckles and gorgeous copper hair.

  14. A delightful series of images, Margaret - the zebra is spectacular, and your "grandies" are looking suitably happy with their clever efforts. Reckon I'd enjoy cooling off in a pool right now - it's 35.4C at present and 40C is expected tomorrow! May you enjoy a special celebration of the "real reason for the season" with your loved ones.

  16. How wonderful to see zebras at Christmas time! I would certainly be trying to cool off in a pool if I were there too. Here, it has been in the -20 to -30 C range, so no pool for me at present! I hope you had a lovely holiday.
