My family and other animals

On a trip to the zoo - where else!
I think we saw nearly all the animals (except for those in the reptile house, because I can't bear snakes).
"Simples".
There were several sleepy heads
including the Southern Hairy-nosed wombat
 Also beautiful multi-coloured flying things
as well as creatures which are rather less ethereal
 but who have very delicate ears!
We were entertained by lovers of celery

and we loved the glamorous lemurs,
and finally, listened to the roar of the king of the jungle, after he had snacked on a large hunk of raw meat!

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
