"Cypress slum" - hub of colony activity. Most of it in rocks around that cypress near centre of pic. You can see how close the buildings are.
Adult and Four pups amongst the boulders. Adult is about rabbit sized.
Rock Hyrax Procavia habessinica
Young hyrax. Hard to do justice to his velvety chocolate fur. As they grow older their fur lightens up and gets coarser in texture.
Detail of large cushion shaped shrub by valley road. Not sure what it is.. probably one of the Borages.
Common, edible and attractive plant, the caper. Capparis spinosa This one's stamens are wilted through much of the day (like this) but stand up like a fibre optic lamp when they're hydrated enough. These are the bushes you see growing on the Western/Wailing wall. Many by side of Valley road. Watch out for the sharp spines!
All pics taken with hubby's Casio digital
