Nguni's and Honkey
« on: July 03, 2015, 22:14:03 »
The Nguni's are indigenous to South Africa. Hardy, and as a result they dont succumb to various diseases like other's do.
Docile temperaments - I walked among them and as calm as a bunch of  men in an old aged home
Their hides are sought after too.

And then there was Honkey the Donkey.

That was a long time ago when Slovenia was not an independent country but belonged to the Habsburg Monarchy  ;)
We didn't come across any though, not that we were particularly looking for them...

Jan Anne (lunatic - need for speed) was attracted to the Alps and driving his BMW on the narrow roads chasing Porches.
Erik (lunatic - survival instinct) had his mountain hike in 30ºC, whilst Bjørn and I (subtle creatures - feel free to add whatever comes to mind), well, we are flower boys :D

Speaking of which, I am not sure if I have posted some flowers of mine taken with the 180/2.8 AIS that Bjørn kindly let me use in the Slovenian thread...
Must go check!

LOL! (@ Honkey) ... I keep going back ... yep LOL!

The first shot has a nice feel, I'd dodge the face of the mother just a smidgen.
