'Kulafumbi' is our family home in Kenya, East Africa, situated on the confluence of the Athi and Mtito Rivers. The property borders the Tsavo National Park - with no fences between us and the Park, the wildlife comes and goes of its own free will and treats our land as its own. As for us, when we are ensconced here, it's all too easy to ignore all the troubles in the world... House & Land - more info My Family & I - more info

DESIGN TIME
I have a passion for design, which I pursue in my spare time. All my designs are inspired by wildlife and nature. You can see some of my work here:
"We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems..."
It was amazing to see how confident the chicks have become - and how long-legged! Both chicks were foraging (at great speed) far from the parent bird, coming and going at will. The parent seemed remarkably unperturbed by this, as if it knew this was a necessary part of the chicks learning to fend for themselves. By looking at each chick, hatched less than a day apart, you can tell how quickly they develop, day by day: the plumage of the older chick has developed noticeably in comparison to the second chick - and yet it is less than 24 hours older...How quickly these changes must occur.
