Botswana is Not Kansas

It's Oklahoma...no it's Idaho...no it's Arizona!  Hmm, I guess it's really just Botswana.  Anyway, I saw some of Botswana today.  While culturally, it was interesting, photographically I just couldn't get engaged.  I did see some super fine 'travel' style pictures that I didn't take in some of the villages, but I couldn't get myself to take them.  I was just not in the photography mood.  So, after all my excitement last night, I only ended up with a few pictures. 
I did drive over 300 miles (gasoline is only $6 a gallon here after all!) trying to find something interesting too. 
The picture of the birds' nests is social sparrow community.  I wonder why they call them social?  There are some on the golf course here too, so maybe I will try to get some photos of the actual birds.  These social sparrows didn't socialize with me, so I didn't get a chance to take their pictures.
The other picture is of a lamb.  You may wonder what he is asking...well, he said in a perfectly clear 'baaaa': "Where's Cookie?!  I need a playmate!".  So there you go, even the Botswana lambs know how awesome Cookie is.
That's it for tonight.  I'm really tired again.

The baby lamb looks like he has an important point to make.

Proably more important than any point I have made on my blog.
