Ambrose is back!

Hi Bozo and Mum's blog readers; this is Ambrose. I'm back on Blogger! But I'm still not 100% according to Mum.

What's a 100%, Unca Shadow?

Oh, you say if you can't eat it, you don't want to know what it is? 

Mmm.

Anyway, I've been injured and went to the doctor in Mum's car; I was treated and spent a L O N G time just resting on Mum's warm bed or on the kitty's chair in the sunny dining room. 

Our yoomens went away in the week and Mama Rina and our Erica took care of us. Here I am in my yoomen dad's travel bag...
I reckoned if I lie in this bag, Mum will take me along next time

Mid-July Saturday Critters

At last I've managed to sit down at my desk and blog. In between the trips and other commitments which I've taken on (more about THIS later, LOL), I've still taken  the dogs on their walk to the golf course. 

On Wednesday, with a 60 - something - old body that felt like it had been through a mangle, Eddy, Skabenga and I had a lovely walk.
No matter how cold the weather and water, Skabenga takes a dip - many dips - while we're at the dam

While looking for photos for this post, I found last week's walk with the dogs when granddaughter, Abby came with us. She has such a gentle nature and stops to "smell the flowers" (read, pick them for her Mom) and exclaim at the pretty birdies, or lovely sky... This from a four-year-old.
Carefully picking a bunch of wildflowers for her Mom...
Originally I'd bent down to photograph the single blooms 

 Precious child! 
That same day, we met up with two ladies carrying huge bags of wood on their heads. I stopped to chat to this lady and assure that Skabenga wouldn't harm her (the lady in the background wasn't having any of my explanations!)
I can't imagine how any woman can stride out so easily with such a large burden on her head! 
While in Cape Town last Monday, I photographed the moon from the guest room where we were staying. First Quarter, visibility 45%; age 8 days. 11 July 2016 at 10.19pm

I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen here

WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY SATURDAY!
