Weekly Thursday Challenge: Windows
London
My very first time
and I loved it.
I love architecture and was thrilled
with the ancient alongside the new here.
These are some new!
Buildings with no walls,
JUST WINDOWS!
This is nicknamed The Leaning Tower of Pizzas
The same building, from the Thames
The Gherkin
Aren’t they fun?

This is the only castle I visited

Scrapbooking: My Passion!
I swore I wouldn’t begin yet another hobby!
But when Grandie #1 made an appearance!
Well you have to showcase the most beautiful Baby in the World!
When #2 came along!
Well the most brilliant, gorgeous, funny, clever, children have to be documented!
Besides, it incorporates all my other crafts,
so it isn’t really new;
it just requires lots of supplies
masses of room
a new camera
a photo quality printer

Travel Challenge: Ocean
These photos were all taken at Club Mykonos, Langebaan, Western Cape, South Africa.
This is the Atlantic Ocean.
My 3 boys and I spent a week together, just hanging out.
It was just 8 months after my accident, and it was very special.
The Ocean is my “happy place”,
Going there refreshes, rejuvenates, renews, repletes, re-energises, recreates me.
I miss not living there any more really badly.
These photos are really my simplest, greatest treasures:
my sons, the ocean and a sunset.
I love you guys so very much
Thank you for this time we had together

The Weekly Photo Challenge: Friendship
Some of the sweetest friendships to witness
are between the very old and very young;
between different species;
between different walks of life;
where chasms once yawned.
This is a friendship between a young dog,
a sweet little female who was the runt of the litter,
I had to put her on mom’s teat when the others were not around, or full.
She slept with me a few nights just after birth as she was so weak.
A sweet-natured, loving, caring, motherly little doggie.
She adopted both of these other animals when they were tiny orphans
and brought to me to raise.
She attended to their grooming, both for cleanliness and bonding.
She took care of toilet duties,
many baby animals need a warm, wet tongue to move things along.
She cuddled and played and reprimanded and loved.
My sweet Munchkin,
Little feral kitten, Minx,
A baby Duiker, Zakumi.
Munchkin grooming Minx
Munchkin kissing Zakumi
Minx and Zakumi adventuring together
Munchkin, Minx and Zakumi off into the world
A dog. a cat and a duiker
unlikely, but firm friends.
I think there is a lesson here.

Baby it’s Hot Outside
Inspired by Summer
Big G and Little K cooling it down
Summer: Ailsa’s Photo Challenge
Summer in Africa is full of contrasts
Gardens are lush and green
The veldt (bush) is too
But it is also harsh
The storms are dark and heavy and LOUD!
This was a 60ml storm in Jan 09
This one was a hail storm right in the middle of summer
Christmas Eve 2010
Our road and the normally dry fields
The Promise after the storm

Weekly Photo Challenge: Hands
baby hands are so beautiful
so full of promise
so innocent and teachable
This is Big G
these baby hands
will learn so much
Gentleness
from a gosling
compassion
from a baby pigeon
fallen from the roof
whilst learning to fly
curiosity
from a rescued kitten
animal husbandry
from an orphaned lamb
gentling
the horses
Helping
others
Dad will teach me
to change a tyre
the sweetness of life
from baking yummies
Many things
through others eyes
The world is in your hands

Kharma Chameleon
I wrote this in response to a post about a chameleon
Very different in looks to the chameleons I have seen
It looked like a lizard.
I love chameleons. From their “um, yes I’ll go, ummm, hang on, maybe I’ll stay, No, hang on, don’t rush me, I’ll go!” – to their awesomely yucky, loooonnnngggg, sticky tongue and deadly aim! Their curly tails and cute split foot, with toes on either side! Their googly eyes and various appellations. They’re fabulously talented camouflage experts and when they get cross!!!! Oooh, you really do know it from their colouration! We found this one hanging out in the garden. He had a white patch of “lichen” on his head that was rather rakish! We’ve spotted him a few times in the garden and watch him watching us, as well as everything else!!! They are awesome!
Big G was so excited, but reluctant to take him. He thrilled to watch him wobble over Little K. Little K of course just wanted to grab and eat poor Boy George (of course).
Please don’t try to keep a chameleon – they have an enormously varied and voracious diet and do not do well in captivity.
Chameleons are from a family called Chamaeleonidae, and are very different to other lizards!
- They have feet like a parrot – called zygodactylous feet. It means that they have two toes pointing forward, and two toes pointing backwards.
- Their eyes are able to move independently, called stereoscopic eyes.
- They have very special tongues; very long, highly modified and rapidly extrudable (stretchy) tongues.
- They walk funny – back and forth swaying motion.
- Many chameleons have a prehensile tail – like a monkey.
- Some have crests or horns on their prehistoric looking heads.
- They’re mainly known for being able to change colour, but not all do.
- They come in all sorts of sizes; from littlies measuring about 16mm or (1/2 in.) in Brookesia micra (one of the world’s smallest reptiles) to 68.5 cm (27 in.) in the male Furcifer oustaleti.
- There are approximately 160 species of chameleon in the world; from Africa, Madagascar, Spain and Portugal, across south Asia to Sri Lanka. They have been introduced to Hawaii, California and Florida. They like warm places that can be as different as deserts to rain forests!
The word chameleon comes originally from Greek and sort of means “ground lion”.
This is an extract from my book “There’s an Emu in my Garden”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Blue
Ah, It has been thrown down!
We have had a few Great Danes
We were complete and fully owned by them
This little girl was born the day before Hubby’s birthday
His 50th Birthday Present
She was the most amazing girl in the world
Hayley was a Blue Dane
Her colour a gorgeous dark grey
she had blue eyes as a baby
they turned a greeny colour as she grew up
Hayley-Bayley was beautiful
inside and out
she believed her place was between us and everything else
She pretended she was a lap-dog
and disdainfully ignored our laughs
She ran
Great, galumphing glory-bounds of joy
She adored following hubby around the farm
Ears and tongue flying as she zoomed around
I think she thought she was a Cheetah!
She had a wonderful, dignified, gentleness
She adopted Marge as her own
who arrived as a little things of about 3 months old
They adored one another
She loved her food
Waiting patiently in a sit pose
until she was told to eat
We gave her the very best in Dog Dining
The Vet assured us that she was perfectly healthy
despite her boniness
It was all the running
She left us far too quickly
We had a horribly mutant form of Biliary here
Many beautiful dogs died, despite all precautions
it was devastating
Hayley, you’ll always be in our hearts
precious Hayley-Baby

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unfocused
I usually delete my blurred, silly photos. These I had to keep. It was the day my son’s first child was born. I handed the camera to someone to take photos while we came in for a hug, cry, laugh and celebration. They were all terrible! But they were all I had, so I fiddled and played and made a Scrapbook page called “It’s all a Blur”. Fitting.
This weeks challenge is very different. I love it, some of the photos have been incredible!

The Elephants and I
The Elephants and I were taken at Pilanesberg Game Reserve,
Sun City, South Africa
Michael and I having a moment. He’s not eating my hand, but I am feeding him some pellets. His Mahout is chatting to us. He’s a big boy, I was standing on a little mound.
In this one I am standing level with Michael, you can see how far I had to reach up to place his pellets onto his tongue.
Hello Michael, sweet boy
This is Chikwenya, the Matriarch, she is pregnant with her and Michaels’ 1st baby
Chikwenya’s herd, Michael is closest to camera and Chikwenya is furthest away.
Baby Lesego was born happy, healthy and joyful
The Paddling Pool
Someone bought the paddling pool for the Grandies

It was fantastic,
well used and thoroughly enjoyed.
By the Geese!

The Weekly Photo Challenge evokes all sorts of images in my mind.
It’s such a wide category!
This is a drawing I did in 1995,
I am passionate about Baby Elephants!
Together. This should be a simple challenge for most of you – find a picture of people or things which are together in your picture.
Share a picture that means TOGETHER to you!
