A Smell On The Wind – Part 2
The road through Bullen’s African Lion Safari was long and winding, really excellent for motion sickness. But the good thing about the park was that the population density of lions to humans was high, or so it appeared to this seven year old girl. Prey you make it out alive. Read more
A Smell On The Wind – Part 1
Do you ever wonder how you survived your childhood? This is a question I ask myself frequently. Sometimes I think we survive in spite of our parents, rather than because of them. [Note to mum. Just joking.] Let me tell you the story about the day my family was nearly eaten by lions. Read more
Bright Star
This post is dedicated to my little dog, Ama, who is not well. So far we know that she has copper storage disease but not how bad it is or whether we can mitigate it. I’ve not had much time for blogging lately as we’ve had a lot of medical appointments and I’ve been researching treatments, including low copper diets.

One Word Sunday – Us
Every week, Debbie from Travel With Intent hosts the One-Word-Sunday challenge. This is my contribution to this week’s challenge — Threesome. Click on the link to participate.
This is my first time participating in this particular challenge. I had been looking at this photo recently as a possibility for another post, but it seems to fit this theme best.

Fluffy Girl
This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt — Fluffy.
I promised myself I would cut back to one post a week. The weather is warming up so I need to catch up on some of my art projects. But I couldn’t resist this Ragtag Prompt as it is my dog’s nickname. So without further ado, here is my favourite Fluffy.
Fluffy’s other name is Makea. Makea means sweet in Finnish. Fluffy is a Finnish Lapphund (Suomenlapinkoira). The breed has its origins as a reindeer herder of the Sami people.
Look But Don’t Touch
This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt of 10 July 2018 — Dart.
The short-beaked echidna must be one of the cutest animals you are ever likely to encounter if you visit Australia.
Heartfelt Thanks
