Kenya Pics - Now with Film Images too!
 

Hey Ledgies,

I finished my Kenya pics Website yesterday which you can view here http://photomakeover.com/kenya. Feel free also to leave a comment in my guest book at http://photomakeover.com/guest/. :)

awesome pictures. seriously.

when the lion picture popped up it took my breath.

oh, and that dress you wore to the wedding was hot. watch out Beyonce.

Oh my. Words cannot describe how utterly fabulous these photos are! Thatnk you so much for sharing them, they are truly spectacular. :nod:

The wildlife pics are so cool, ecspecially the lion and the elephants. Can't believe you were so close to them! I must show my mom, she loves elephants.

You're right about the vivid colors of the plants & flowers - just awesome.

The places you stayed looked lush and tropical and gorgeous and relaxing and.....

Love the hippo & the tortoise! Too cute!

The sea worm and the millipede made me gag. Too gross! Sack filled with water. Ew.

You hot sexy slutty bitch. :cool: You know I'm all about the orange. HOT!

What great pics!!!!!!

Yes, it is so strange to go to other countries in the more impoverished parts of the world and realize that what we would consider mostly a filthy way of living here is the status quo there. It also is so great to see how people completely different than us interact on a social level. What a great experience for you!!!!

Thank you so much. Wait until you see the film ones, I haven't had them developed yet. They were taken with a good zoom so I'm really excited to see what I got.

That elephant was the coolest. He was majestic.

They were, I had no idea our hotels would be so luxurious. If anyone wants to go on safari I would recommend flying into Nairobi and then flying right into Masai Mara and staying at Mara Serena for a few days. The lodge is pure heaven. The drive there sucks though, it is about 6 hours of pot holed awful roads from Nairobi.

Totally cute, and they've made a movie!

That sea worm was completely disgusting so I'm like, "Of course the Maasai make jewelry out of that."

You don't know the half of it! I got myself in trouble with this guy's girlfriend, oops. http://www.photomakeover.com/kenya/page174.html Now that's hot.

How do I love thee, Paula, let me count the ways. Thanks for your sweet (and nasty) words. :) :xoxo:

I had to really crop that lion pic but when I get my film developed there should be some better, sharper shots. But yeah, he took all of our breath away. His growl was so loud I can only imagine the impact his roar would have. He was so regal just sitting atop that hill. He was literally 500 or so feet from our lodge so it was a real treat. On our last stretch of road, there he was, right at dusk. My favorite time of the day. What an amazing gift.

I was helping everyone with their cameras though cuz of the low light so in a way I feel like I missed part of the experience being wrapped up in that. But I was just excited. Wow.

Yeah, the dress made an impact let me tell you. But some of the women told Wanjeri they thought it was great that we were so liberated. Our culture affected them and vice versa. It was an extraordinary experience.

Jason, it smelled so bad. I was nauseated the first couple of days but you get used to it. We got some samosas at a butchery and it was such a gross place with flies everywhere and such. Very shocking for this spoiled white American bitch.

That IS hot. Those eyes. Drrrrrroooooooooooolllllllll........ :o

I know - the hardest thing for me on the Amazon was to remember to keep the Purell in my pocket and apply after touching anything or anyone. I do not think people really get the flies, bugs, etc. It also is important to remember that many of these cultures use their hand instead of toilet paper - then they want to shake your hand to show you they are friendly, etc.

Interestingly, mankind lived like this for thousands of years. Remember, indoor plumbing is a relatively new thing - people used to defecate in an outhouse, which was just a large hole in the ground with a hut over it - imagine that smell - or they would go in a porceline pot and a servant would dispose of it.

On edit - the markets were also pretty horrifying to me. Even in the cities like Iquitos, the markets would just have meat hanging and flies everywhere - andf no refrig. mind you.

America and most of the world we know has problems, but I will take it anyday over living like the natives.

the experience of a lifetime! what a blast! thanks for sharing your photos and memories!

I totally agree. I learned so much about manking, humanity, and the human will to survive in any setting. I also learned that no matter how my life my suck at one time or another, we have it so good here - even our homeless live in better conditions if they can find a shelter.

Suze, one of your pictures caught my eye, the one of the Lantana flowers. My mom used to have those in her garden (before the gophers ate them) and I always think of them as like floral confetti, they are so happy looking in their party colors! here is a pic so you know what I am referring to:

Wow. Those are spectacular Suze. specially the sea creatures. that big red and beige star fish thing was amazing! and the hotel pool shots were beautiful too. You are one lucky girl!

Tell me about it. I still can't believe I didn't just throw him down! I showed incredible restraint. :p :lol: And the boy can dance, ****. (fans self)
