WILD, HOT AFRICA 
JULY 22, 2015 

TRY IT ON TUESDAY just opened a challenge that I absolutely couldn't resist... "hot and wild" is the theme- for me, AFRICA is the place!
I caught this fabulous leopard in Botswana one late afternoon when Michael and I were enjoying our 50th anniversary trip to Africa. She was watching some warthogs below the tree...planning dinner for her babies. A woman's work is never done!!
This guy is a resident of Tanzania. He emerged from the rocks at dusk (when the lighting was perfect) on a search for food...always food!
Meet my friend, Icaru. She lives on Ngamba Island in Uganda. We met when she and I went for a walk, along with her keeper, several years ago. She was 11 when we met. She's an orphaned chimp as are all the rescued chimps on this island.  Chimps have a very good memory...she has remembered me on subsequent visits through the years. We play, groom one another, and you should hear her giggle when I tickle her... she is a gift in my life!  
 This was a quick post...hope you enjoyed it. See you next posting...

Big Hugs,

EXTRA STUFF
September 16, 2012


Hi Family and Friends,

This is a quickie posting to document some art challenges and to tell you that this week is my SECOND YEAR as a blogger! Hard to imagine as it's flown by. I've "met"  so many wonderful folks in cyber-space...people with hearts and loves like mine. Nice!! Thanks to all those who have continued to check in to LIFE...THE VIVERE. I hope you'll continue to do so!

Last week, COLLAGE OBSESSION declared their theme to be "Anthropomorphism" (giving human attributes to animals and non-living things.) I didn't get mine in on time, so here it is now...from a tree stump in Uganda.

SUNDAY POSTCARD ART took us back to the 1920's...the Flapper Era.

Finally, THREE MUSES asked us to "think autumn!"

Hope to see you again...thanks for stopping by.

Hugs...'til soon,
abbyj
