Amazing animals

I do hope that you are all doing ok. I know that you’ve had very very high humidity, it’s so difficult to cope with, here in London although cooler it’s odd because we have had 76% humidity. I know that you’ve had 100% it must be unbearable.
So time for a little distraction where to go ANIMALS .

I absolutely love this photo of the hummingbird birds home with a roof. Hummingbird birds are so tiny, it’s amazing how they can construct such beautiful nests for their young. This photo was taken in a rain forest. Its unusual because hummingbirds don’t usually make homes with rooves. What an ingenious mother bird. It’s my opinion that’s a truly beautiful photo .

Another amazing photo of a blue whale blowing a heart. It was a fortunate moment when a photographer was able to capture the magnificent animal blowing a rainbow heart. It was a matter of timing, droplets and sunlight created this fabulous picture.

It’s all about timing and I think my personal favourite is the brown bear in Canada relaxing.
A mattress had been dumped, and a brown bear who was having a wonder decided to have a bit of relax. He looks comfortable don’t you think.
Dolphins and dogs two of my absolutely favourites. So a dog was in a canal in USA stranded unable to get out. Dolphins surrounded it and started making a noise. The noise attracted attention from people who called the fire brigade. The dolphins escorted the dog along the canal until the dog was rescued. Hurrah for dolphins.
Take care over and out London

Different ways to inspire others.

Well goodness me what a strange week, London 40 degrees and I saw that you have had 96% humidity. So global warming is happening right in front of us let’s hope it wakes people up to making much needed changes.
I was delighted to be distracted by two lovely stories about birds. One was about a McCaw parrot who loves accompanying his owner on kayaking and rock climbing trips. His name is Motley. He goes flying and when he wants to go out he bangs on the window. His owner is a student of zoology, gave Motley intense training to enable him to fly free. The RSPCA are using Motley to highlight the importance of not clipping birds wings and allowing them to fly freely. I’d love to see Motley fly.
The other bird story was about a pigeon, an NHS worker found the fledgling in a pub garden. Penny found the pigeon in a pub garden, he’d been a attacked by nasty people. She took advice from a vet and reared him and he’s devoted to her. A happy ending.
I also read a lovely story about three sisters, young muslim girls who discovered a passion for skate boarding, after watching the British Olympian Sky Brown. They want to inspire other girls to take up skate boarding. The sisters put their skate boarding on social media platforms. They also taught themselves how to rap to accompany the videos.
The sisters say they feel free skateboarding and love it.
Well bloggers I do hope that you have a good week over and out London.

Forgiveness

IMG_0709.jpgIMG_0710.jpgIMG_0712.jpg


Well heatwaves everywhere I don’t know if you watched any of the Wimbledon finals, if you did you would have seen the sunshine pounding down on the courts. Keep hydrated seems to be vital so keep your bottles of water near. I’m going to miss the tennis, however the BBC provides me with lots to think about. There’s been a series on the topic of forgiveness and one of the people speaking about his personal experience was a man called Father Michael Lapsley.
Michael was a priest in Harare Zimbabwe, in 1990 he was opening his post when two letter bombs exploded. The bombs destroyed his hands, he lost an eye and his hearing was badly affected. He was on the side of the ANC fighting against apartheid. The bombs were believed to have been planted by the regime in South Africa though never proven. He had thought that because he was part of the struggle against the south African government he might die, but he hadn’t contemplated major disabilities.
After the attack he went through a period of despair and didn’t know how he could make a life for himself. He was initially filled with hatred and revenge against those who had caused his suffering. Desmond Tutu helped him find a new role in the church and to find inner peace.
As his healing occurred he drew strength from prayer and love. His love of God eventually enabled him to accept and forgive. He believes strongly in restorative justice he travels around the world meeting people who have been left disabled and suffering caused by oppressive regimes. He believes that by sharing personal experiences with others can heal you. What a remarkable man.
Desmond Tutu was also a remarkable man. He campaigned hard for equal rights for all. He wanted a common system of education for all children in South Africa plus many other things.
He helped guide South Africa into a democracy. He chaired the Truth and Reconciliation committee to help the country heal. He won the Nobel peace prize in 1984. He was such a worthy winner.
Take care hope you have a good week over and out London
