On an Unusual Winter Safari by taffy

On an Unusual Winter Safari

Danbo was anxious for another adventure, regardless of weather and other obstacles, and had heard safaris were amazing. He talked Water Buff and Rhino into going with him. Clearly, they had some misconceptions about what a safari actually involved. Their idea was that they would go to watch people in the wild. So, they did. I was invited to document, but after this photo, I was too cold so left them to their fun.
Jim rolled his eyes as we left.
PS -- and fits the February f-word theme: fun
Hahaha! Too funny! My husband and my kids are always asking me, "what are you doing now?" LOL! They think I'm nuts half of the time.

They probably didn't find any people in the wild...they were all in their homes in front of a nice warm fire. Maybe another day? (I get the rolling eyes a lot too!) Very cute and clever!

It's good to see they can find something to do even in the snow! Better than just sitting in front of the computer playing games! So pleased you had time to record the trip Taffy!

I hope he had his wellies on and didn't get too wet! I think I may have to invest in a Danbo as you seem to have lots of fun.
February 2nd, 2014  
I hope Danbo had his boots on!! Those animals are really cool are they painted ivory?
February 2nd, 2014  
No scarves to keep them warm, we should hold a charity event to clothe the poor wee things :-)
February 2nd, 2014  
Poor Danbo having to do with all that snow. Cute capture.

Go Danbo!
February 2nd, 2014  
I try to do most of my Piggy shots when Jeff is not around. He would ridicule me beyond my breaking point to know how I play with that plastic pig! Cute shot.
February 2nd, 2014  
Haha! You are fun, clever, and creative!
February 2nd, 2014

Lovely crisp photo and a beautiful story - perfect :-)
February 2nd, 2014  
I see Danbo convinced you! that is some "snow safari." Did they ever make it back home? I hope so
February 3rd, 2014  
@panthora I highly recommend Danbo for photography (though you are in a lovely area so probably don't get desperate in winter for something to photograph!
February 3rd, 2014  
@kathiecb Thanks Kathie -- linking my Danbo to Mr. Bill is high praise!!
February 3rd, 2014  
very cute
February 3rd, 2014  
Now Waterbuff actually looks friendly but Rhino looks as if he has got the 'cuts' of meat displayed on him! We can't have that - too tough?
February 3rd, 2014  
@maggiemae Heehee!! I wonder if that's why Rhino always looks just a bit sad or worried!!
February 3rd, 2014  
haha Jim. Another chuckle this week. :)
February 3rd, 2014  
cool and such a fun shot, love it!
February 3rd, 2014
