Taste of Kiwi

Mr. Munro took this photo at the Auckland zoo. When we visited Africa we saw quite a few hippos. We stayed at one camping ground by a waterhole where they came out at night and grazed by our tents. The hippo is considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa, and the worst thing you can do is to get between a hippo and water or a hippo and its offspring.

This photo of two otters playing was taken at Bear Country in South Dakota. They were having a fine old time and enjoying the sun.

“Careful! Watch the knot. Do I have to go to work today?”

“Can’t we go faster?”

“Ah! Dinner time at last.”

“And maybe time for a snooze.”

These photos were taken at our local farmers’ market where they give pony rides to the children. To visit more animal photos follow the links at Camera Critters.

This photo was taken at Bear Country in South Dakota, USA. Mr. Munro and I loved watching the bears because some of them were real characters. This one wasn’t letting any traffic past.

Julia tagged me for this meme. It’s a fairly easy one and didn’t tax my brain too much.

Here’s how to play:

1. Pick up the nearest book.

2. Open to page 123

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the next three sentences.

5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

At the moment I’m reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Yes, I know. I’m miles behind everyone else! I have the Deadly Hallows on my to-read pile as well and figured they’re so big and fat, if I actually read them, my to-read pile would look a lot smaller! Even better, somehow I’ve managed to avoid spoilers and have no idea of the plots for both books.

On page 123 – the fifth sentence: “It isn’t being … kept for anyone?”

The next three sentences:

Borgin squinted at her. Harry had the nasty feeling he knew exactly what Hermione was up to. Apparently Hermione felt she had been rumbled, too, because she suddenly threw caution to the winds.

I’m not tagging anyone, but it’s an easy meme so feel free to have a go.
