We All Have Our Odyssey

There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ’tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come--the readiness is all. Since no man of aught he leaves knows, what is’t to leave betimes? Let be.- William Shakespeare's Hamlet Act V Scene II

I need a splash of color from Africa again (September 2025). So here are a few pictures of the wonderful lilac-breasted roller. It's the national bird of Kenya and Botswana.

Happy Caturday! Behold the caracal (Caracal caracal) and its stylish ear tassels. Some scientists think that this cat twitches its tufts to communicate with others (in addition to meowing, purring, hissing, and other feline vocalizations). It’s the fastest cat of its size, running up to 50 mph (80.5 km/h), and can jump as high as 10 ft (3 m)! In fact, this hunter has a reputation for jumping up to swat birds out of the air for a meal. Other prey include small mammals like hyraxes and hares. This species can be found in arid habitats in parts of Africa and Asia.
