The pictures of the people bathing at the edge of a waterfall were taken at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. It is quite safe to chill out in the shallow rock pools right by the edge. Quite a breath taking experience indeed. Great collection of pictures. Thanks.
The baby magpie with its mouth open and the odd cashews photos are made into online jigsaw puzzles that you can play on the National Geographic site (pages 3 and 4):
