Win a Rhino!

Not a real rhino, silly. But this adorable Rhino bookmark is for one of you, and once he’s yours you can always give him a name.

A cute rhinoceros bookmark I picked up for you in Kruger!

All you have to do to enter is help me raise awareness for rhino conservation.

Easy to win me! Easy to use me!

Friends, if you have never seen a dead rhino from poaching, this is what one looks like. There are no words to describe how awful it is, and I cry every time I look. If you’re strong enough, then look. It’s something you can’t ever forget, and I believe it gives a better understanding of just how cruel and senseless it is. I won’t post an actual photo on here, because it’s not the type of content I share. But if you’re strong enough, and I think you are, please go look.

And in keeping with my own postings, I’ll end with photos of beautiful live rhinos we saw while in Kruger National Park. (Baby rhino coming next week on the “Baby Big Five.”)

Love, Marla

We had stopped to watch this white rhino grazing off to the right, when Kurt saw it was meandering toward the road. We stayed put and sure enough, he crossed in front of us.
Although I have a great zoom lens, we actually gave this fella’ plenty of space, unlike the car approaching from the other direction. We thought we might see a NatGeo moment, but thankfully he turned away again and headed off into the undergrowth.
Remember to keep your distance and careful not to startle these big beauties!
