This is day two of five of this serving as a photo blog. Today got out of hand, photographically speaking. Of the 260 photos I shot today, I have uploaded 36 (a 14 percent success rate!). So I’m splitting up day two into two posts, because why not. (See part two<\/a>.) This is also the day I started kicking myself for not bringing a long lens. They cost thousands of dollars, for some reason. You can rent them, but you may as well be buying them. So I don’t have a long lens, and my photos reflect that sometimes. Nevertheless, this was a lovely day. <\/p>\n

Some of what we saw on our second day in Kruger National Park included:<\/p>\n
