Unlikely Moments – WPC
“The greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.”
Roald Dahl
It’s been a very busy week here on our little island, so I’ve dug into the archives for a response to Michelle’s Unlikely challenge this week. Following her lead, my opening image is a favorite from our African safari several years ago. I remember wondering what the giraffe must have been thinking as he or she came upon the strange red animal in the grassy plains of Botswana 😊.
“Beauty exists, even in unlikely places.”
Richelle E. Goodrich
Even more unlikely, we came upon this little fellow during our visit to Victoria Falls. There, the animals seemed quite comfortable with their human visitors. No doubt the restaurants and other accoutrements we travelers require provide endless entertainment for the creatures there, although this one seemed a bit unhappy he couldn’t make the human contraption do whatever it was he wanted.
Wishing you a fun weekend filled with some happy, even if unlikely, moments.
What an adventure, Tina! They do look comfortable with human visitors. Cool captures. 🙂
Thanks Amy—I just wished I could read that giraffe’s mind!!
Love the Monkey Business, Tina. The Unlikely Interaction shot is a classic. Good day 🙂
Sometimes, a faucet can be challenging to us humans too. 🙂
LOL good point David!

That first pic is amazing – although sadly I suspect becoming less unlikely, as farmland keeps encroaching on wildlife reserves in Africa.
Sadly indeed Maamej. Nice to see you pop up again!
Thanks, l still dip my toe in occasionally 🙂
Two very humorous takes on this week’s challenge, Tina. Nice way for me to start my Sunday!
Thanks de Wets, we were enthralled with your beautiful country and it’s amazing creatures

The homo sapiens rouge tracteur open air museum is a first for Africa and really seen as a bold step to de-animalize homo sapiens
You are the most creative commenter on WordPress Abrie! Your comment made my day!
I’d like to have either in my archives, Tina. 🙂 🙂 The monkey’s expression is priceless.
Thanks jo, I thought so too!!
Delightful!
Thanks laurel! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Your photo brings a huge smile to my face this evening ~ it is like Pendleton, OR meeting the grassy plains of Botswana. Wonderful.
Busy weeks are usually good weeks, makes the weekends so much more enjoyable. Wishing you sunshine 🙂
Thanks Randall. Happily we’ve had a glorious week of sunshine. Wishing you the same
Hi Tina. Hope you are safe and well from all the mother nature stuff happening in your neck of the woods at present. Regards.
Many thanks Micheal. Thankfully the weather issues are well north of us. The sun has been quite wonderful this week. Best to you too
Good to hear.
Oh, great! 😊
Thanks Sue!
That first one almost made me laugh out loud. Plus it’s a great photo in general … love your choices!
Thanks so much Lex—clearly that was my goal 😊
Beautiful images for the theme, Tina 🙂
I think your archive is like a magician’s hat, you can take out whatever you want 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
LOL, love that description Sreejith! I shall think of them that way from now on😊

Wonderful Pictures 👌👌👌
Thanks very much Baadal

Brilliantly framed in the moment shots, Tina. That monkey does look a bit unhappy and was tied of trying to make the contraption do something 🙂 Sometimes I wonder if animals do think along the same lines as us – sometimes we figure things out, sometimes we can’t. Really like that quote by Roald Dahl. In a way it speaks of life: the good things comes in places that we never thought of. Hope things are okay and you have a good weekend and week 🙂
Thanks Mabel! I too wonder how much animals think. I suspect much more than we might think.
Good choices, Tina. Wouldn’t you love to know what was going on in those heads?
Ah Sharon—if they could speak, what would they say ?!?!
wonderful shots!
Thanks Jim!
Fabulous examples Tina!
Many thanks Rainee
