Amethyst Sunbird female and juvenile

 Dear Blogger friends. Thank you for your kind wishes for my birthday. I have been inundated with phone calls, WhatsApp messages and Facebook greetings. 

Just after Christmas, I saw Mama sitting on my bed and gazing out of the window. When I drew closer, I saw she was birdwatching. I grabbed my camera and managed to get several photos of a mother bird and her youngster sitting on a tree just outside the window.

During one of our cleanup sessions at The Bunker, I rescued a praying mantis sitting on the units  WiFi dongle.

I carried it out and placed it on the Tecomaria on the patio

My BD

Good morning dear Blogger friends. Another year has passed and I am a year older. Today is my 68th birthday. 

Like for everyone else, the past year has been weird but I am ultra grateful that from necessity, I have discovered the joys and rewards of working online. From our first hard lockdown on 27 March 2020, the weight loss company that I work for, went virtual. 

For me this was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have founds passion and gleaned satisfaction from assisting people from all over the world, to lose weight and keep it off the healthy way.

Revisiting the fun way to alter images on the screen too, (as taught by my friend, Sandra many years ago), I add a few photos here below. 

One of the many posters I use on my status and on Facebook to promote my passion 

HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL 

White-fronted Bee-eater, African Hoopoe and beautiful scenery

Good evening dear Blogger friends. Skabby and I had to miss two days of walking this week due to rain and very heavy going. But when we did get out, we enjoyed wonderful birds, he had a good run and swam in the dam and I took photos.

No walk is complete without a photo of the happy boy on his daily walkies
