Just a bit off topic with this one…
However, I came across a great deal from GROUPON that lets users buy metal prints of their photos for 85% off or better.
I’ve used them a few times in the last couple of weeks to print a few of my Safari photos and I have to say I’m really impressed with how they turned out. I was a bit nervous because you usually get what you pay for, but it this case I got a lot more than what I paid for!
For scale, the Leopard about is a 16×20 print and the Lion to the right is an 11×14 print. I noticed with my prints, they have a really nice sheen to them and have almost a 3-D like quality to them.
The GROUPON deal is through PrinterPix.com and comes in 3 price ranges:
10 x 7 Prints are only $9.99 (regularly 69.99)
11×14 Prints are only 14.99 (regularly 89.99)
16×20 Prints are only 19.99 (regularly 139.99)
In addition if you use the coupon code “ENJOY30” you’ll get an additional 30% off of these prices at checkout. These prices also include shipping.
Uploading the photo and processing it is easy, just make sure you have a high enough resolution of your image. The PrinterPix software will tell you if you’re print will look good or not depending on the size you upload. 4 or 5 stars, and its will turn out. Anything else will cause a pixelated image.
So for all you traveling types and plane spotters, here’s a great chance to put some of your best photos on a really nice metal print. Might not be a bad idea to use this deal for Holiday gifts as well.
From what it looked like, there were also deals for canvas prints, mugs, albums, calendars, etc. etc. etc.
To find the deal visit GROUPON.COM and in the search field type PrinterPix. You’ll be taken to the PrinterPix Groupon site where you can buy your coupons for this deal and other offers from PrinterPix.

This installment picks up where parts I, II, III, IV, and V left off (please click on a ‘number’ to be taken to that part).
Here you’ll find an assortment of critters including Elephants, Lions, Dung Beetles, Birds, etc. etc. At the bottom of this post, be sure to watch the Rhino video. We were as close as we could get without jumping on him for a ride 😉 !
Did You Know? Elephants can communicate with each other through infrasound from 10-15 miles away!
A Mongoose provides a rare pose.
I was about 30 yards away from these Lionesses with nothing between us. Fortunately they were too lazy to do anything about it.
A male and female Leopard (Ravenscourt and Tassleberry) are about to enjoy each other’s company.
Dung Beetles battle over a pile of……territory.
Common but beautiful, the Blue-Ear Starlings shimmers in the sunlight.

Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, are you up? Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom
In this video, we experience a Rhino come as close to us as possible without sitting in the truck with us…..

I continue to work through my hard drive and memory cards in search of my favorite shots. In this installment enjoy the Hippos, Rhino, Leopard, and Cheetah. I’ve also attached a video of an underrated and very critical critter…….
To catch up on previous posts in this series, please use the following links: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV.

A Rhino and Cape Buffalo create an interesting alliance…..

No Safari is complete without Elephants!
Cape Buffalo…in this case a ‘Dugga Boy’, or an old male that has been kicked out of the breeding herd…..Sound familiar?
In the following video, you’ll see Dung Beetles working a pile of Dung as they prepare to lay their larvae. The Beetles will lay their larvae in the dung, roll the dung into a near perfect ball and bury it. In about 2 weeks the larvae will hatch and emerge from the dung ball. The newly-hatched Beetle will live for about 2 years.
