Complete this sentence: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s…

Yes it’s definitely a bird!

My eye will always notice a bird.  Even when everybody else is looking at a leopard in a tree, I will say – do you see that bird over there!

Yellow-throated Longclaw

What genre of music do you like?

I enjoy quite a few genres – hate the grating, head banging, loud, heavy metal type of music.

Obviously love rock ‘n roll from the 60s. Music with a beat that you can dance to.

My favourite artists are in no particular order – Madonna, Michael Jackson, James Blunt, The Beatles, Cliff, Elvis, Barbara Streisand, Liza Minnelli,  Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Adele, Simon and Garfunkel, Joan Baez.  The list goes on.   I also enjoy classical music.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

Well – I was in a National Park over the weekend and there was a lot to smile about.  Who wouldn’t smile watching a tonne of elephants wallowing in waterholes.

I really appreciate the fact that I live in a country where conservation is taken seriously in spite of a number of problems we otherwise might be having.  Seeing a game guard with an anti-poaching dog really filled my heart with joy.
