For when you are totally bored...but it's soooo cool |
|
http://www.wavelit.com/index.asp?ch=Wildlife&sh=africam#Live webcam from a watering hole in Africa. So far I've seen buffalo type thingies, antelope/deer whatevers (yes, I know I'm sooo scientific. LoL), a hyena and and elephant yesterday. Loads of birds. The sound effects alone are worth keeping a window open.

4. That's a damn lot of birds! |
|
No live animals on screen right now, but I'm going to keep the window open.
It's sort of the epitome of drama, isn't it? Will something come into frame? What might I miss if I get up for a drink?

Of course, it happened when I switched windows to post here.
Gotta move some windows around so I can DU and watch Africa at the same time.
Oh! Deer-thingie fight!

19. Dude, it's so amazing I can't even screen capture it! |
|
Seriously, printscreen pasted into photoshop creates a an exact replica of my screen except the damned lsd colored deer are still animated, IN PHOTOSHOP!!! How can these rainbow mammals jump out of my browser and into photoshop!?!
Yet if I try and save the image, all I get is a black space where the mammals should be.

16. Deer don't make that horrible snorting noise, for one thing. |
|
I live in the city. My old house was on twenty-one acres. I would regularly look up from planting corn, or weeding, or picking hungarian sweet peppers to see that I was being watched - sometimes by three or four deer. Once, Bambi showed up and nearly stepped on my hand as I weeded the melon patch. So CUTE!

20. I've been snorted at on occasion |
|
And lots of hoof stomping. Once there was a newly birthed fawn in our bushes. Gawd that was just the cutest thing ever. I love living in the boonies sometimes.

or are they deer flies? The ones that are territorial and bomb you upon the head if you dare invade their space? Those are the ones I hate. And the mosquitoes, and those freakin' little no-seeums that cluster like a humongous disgusting bug cloud.
Oh wait I love the boonies. :eyes:

23. The head-bombers are deerflies. Our neighbor used to wear |
|
duct tape, sticky side out, on his hat. But crap, then you'd hear them buzzing as you did your thing. We have blackflies, deerflies, horseflies and, I'm assured, mooseflies. And mosquitoes with a bite that penetrates denim. Yeah, it's wonderful in the boonies.

I was watching the elephants earlier, too. Now that one of the kids is around, though -- nothing. At least not that I can see.
Yesterday it was gazelles and wildebeests. What's next?
I'm all a-twitter.

47. The page “Wavelit TV” has content of MIME type “video/x-ms-asf-plugin”. |
|
Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
So does that mean I have to find a plug-in called video/x-ms-asf-plugin ?
