When we came back six weeks ago, the bush was all green and lush.

It was still very hot though, but that’s how the rainy season goes.

It only cools down after the rains, and when the days are cloudy.

Sunny days are hot, but the view is beautiful!

Sheba was thrilled to be out in the bush again! Just watch that tail…

Sheba loves the rock formations! It’s exactly what an RR protector needs to get a full overview of the situation,

…and when the flock has caught up, it’s time to head to the next one!

These beautiful rock formations are part of what gives the Zinder bush it’s particular character.

Unfortunately, the rocks are destroyed as the city grows.

These beautiful rocks have already been marked out for house buildings. Soon, they will either have been removed, or enclosed by brick walls.

In the meantime though, Sheba and the rest of us continue to enjoy them!

Seeing how fast the city is growing, we may have to ride out quite a bit before reaching the beautiful expanse of the Zinder bush, which I love so much.

For the time being, it’s only a quarter of an hour away, which is perfect!

Weekend greetings from Niger!
