Blue skies and blue water everywhere (still)

It certainly seems that our rainy season has finally ended. All the grey clouds have vanished, and without their protective insulation blanketing us from above, temperatures have dropped signficantly.

I really do love this time of year, with the dazzling blue skies and the edgy chill in the morning and night air. Days are still hot, but there is the promise of Winter to come... and then after that we start again with the waiting-for-rain game around October!

Leaving you with one last watery photo for now - we took this from the road on the way to work yesterday. The wide blue river closest to us in the photo is the main channel, which we can see from opposite our office. This is the usual Chobe river, which is currently spilling over its banks. Everything blue going back all the way towards the horizon, is supposed to be a green floodplain, and instead is a sheet of water...

Just for interest, if you feel like scrutinising, otherwise do skip - in the foreground bottom right, you can maybe make out a palm tree. You can see the same palm tree in the Saturday photo just above the hippo pictures, in this earlier post.

We are off on a weekend getaway combined with a little business, but sadly our planned stay at Ngepi Camp in Namibia had to be postponed till later this year, as the lodge is underwater... So, until next week, and early weekend greetings to all reading this!
