African Safari Photo Essay: Deer

I wanted to share some of our trip to the Afraican Safari with all of you, since so many of you played a roll in us going there for free.

I took 400 pictures with one camera alone, so picking pictures is not going to be easy. We also took some with my Kodak, but I mainly used that for video, since I cant find the charger for my video camera.

The deer around the two cars ahead of us.

Hey I sell carrots. Give me some. A deer at Joes window.

Yup that is what I was waitting for. Take note of the sign in the background. "DO NOT FEED BY HAND" So Joe cant read. LOL

Where is mine at man?

Zander feeding his first deer. It was not easy to get good pictures of them feeding the animals, but I sure did try and try again.

The van in front of us, dumpped out some feed and we had to wait for the deer to clear out before we could move.

So Joe finally seen the sign and did as it said for once. Here he is with the cup of feed out the window feeding the deer. They started fightting over it and he ended up dumpping it out, after they almost took it from him.

Xaiver just gettin done feeding his first deer. It took us awhile to get him into it all. He was happy just watching. Strange for him, since hes to one that loves to get into things. Then again Zanders always been big into animals.

A few deer out my window, smelling the carrots that were at my feet. You can see me in the mirror taking pictures. I dont think they were to happy waitting for there carrots.

I thought this one was a great action shot. The deer seen my windown down and come running across the field. A buffalo relaxing in the pond.

Some deer relaxing in the shade.

There was a good amount of fawns. This one was just standing there watching everything going on around it.

I thought this was a great shot and the boys loved seeing this. A fawn getting something to eat from its mama, while mama cleaned it.

Me giving a deer a carrot out my window and taking pictures at the same time.

This one is cute too. It looks like Zander is training the deer. Hes got two of the standing nicely out his window begging for the carrot hes holding over there noses.

I think they were trying to figure out who was getting the next carrot. The albino at the bottom right, was one of many.

Here is another one with one of the albinos.

Well I thought this was enough for now. Hopefully I will be able to get another one done tomorrow night sometime.

Thanks for coming along with us. I cant tell you how much fun we had. The boys keep asking if we can go back again. I cant wait to tell you all some of the funny stories and when I get some of the videos posted, im sure you will have a few good laughs as well. Just a note to warn you all, a few of the videos have some cussing in them.

Again thank you all for all your help in helpping me earn the money to take my family on this great get away for free. We did not spend a single dollar out of our pocket and we even ended up coming home with a few bucks left.
