The theme of the week was WATER.<br>Jack strolled through the veld, and came accross a scene of a deadly killing spree: a dove which fell prey to a nifty neighbourhood cat..blood and feathers everywhere. His winning photo captured the beauty of magnifying raindrops on the wings of the poor dove.<br>The challenging part of our group is that photos are not allowed to be set up, or staged. Only cell phone photos. We call ourselves"Mik en Drukkers", and thats what we do: aim and shoot.<br>We are only 15 members, all amateurs. — Snowy Jack Kruger

I spotted this Plains Zebra in Kruger National Park - it has a genetic mutation that has resulted in it having normal coat colouration, but striking blue eyes! In horses, this is a common phenomenon because of selective breeding, but it is very rare in wild zebras. There is no evidence that it is in any way detrimental to the zebra's health. </p>
