Photos of Africa, again

In a previous posting I noted some great photos that my friend and colleague Basia took during her recent trip to Africa. The ones linked in that posting were her "top 5" items. But in the weeks that followed she uploaded dozens of additional great photo-series covering all kinds of animals of Africa, and assorted other aspects of her trip. Her photos and descriptions have made for fascinating viewing and reading. Check out her dozens of blog postings from September and October for all of them, or if time is short, here are my four favorites (hard to choose):

• African Birds: Superb Starlings -- a very deep blue!
• African Birds: Secretary Bird -- possibly the strangest bird I've ever seen a photo of!
• African Birds: Kingfishers -- more bright colors!
• Africa: Primates -- the last two photos here are must see... classic!
