A big bowl of gratitude goes to Grace at Graceful Yoga for this blog award. What a wonderful surprise. Grace is a recent follower of Adventures in Nature so I am doubly honored by her.
Of my three blogs, this blog is indeed my favorite. I could post on it all day and never run out of ideas. I have had so many experiences that I still haven't posted about!
I also received this award the same week from Linda at World of Spirit. I am a fan of their blogs. Please check them out and say hello as you know, we all live for comments.
Of my three blogs, this blog is indeed my favorite. I could post on it all day and never run out of ideas. I have had so many experiences that I still haven't posted about!
Some of those are:
* More of what it was like to feed the lions, tigers, leopards and bears as a carnivore keeper Aid at the zoo. And why I had to stop for now.
* CIG training which I did in early March, which gives me a few initials after my name and makes me official in what I do here naturally --interpreting nature.
* Taking Animal Handling training as an extension of my docent training at the zoo. Now I can take out the animals ambassadors and interact with the public. My faves -- a running duck, a gorgeous chicken, a mischievous, wiggly ferret, a little baby gator and a giant Welsh rabbit (I'm too allergic to take him out DARN! It set me back a weekend just being near him for the training). I'd love to take out the owl but that is for staff only...
* Training for how to clean wildlife affected by oil spills, which I just took on Friday at the Wildlife Rehab and Education Center. I hope I never have a reason to use those skills.
* Trying to catch that orphaned baby bird in The Park to bring into the Wildlife Center so it won't be on it's own (not a good thing for a duck) and will have a chance at a good long life.
*Spotting ANOTHER chicken trying to cross the busy road.... in the middle of the city!
*Spotting ANOTHER chicken trying to cross the busy road.... in the middle of the city!
* New pics of the baby giraffe at the zoo and stats on how much he's grown.

Please stop by those blogs by clicking on their names... I hope you enjoy them!
Thank you Grace and Linda!

Thanks Sydney. I appreciate it. I'll pass it on when I have the time...I'm on dial-up at the country house. Aaaack.
Aw...aren't you sweet! Thank you so much for including me on the list! Honestly, I don't know how you manage 3 blogs of such quality ~ it's all I can do to post the odd entry in just one. You're a doll to think of me ~ thanks, Syd! :)
Thanks, Sydney! You do deserve the award. Animal handling and cleaning animals/birds affected by oil spills sound really interesting. Every time I come here and read about your experiences, I think I should do something like this too!
Hello Sydney, I'm visiting via Riverdaze. What an amazing blog and life you have!
(I especially enjoyed the giraffe posts!!)
Ellen -- it's a pleasure. I am so glad you found my blog so I could find yours! I love your writing style, your choice of topics and your artwork is exquisite!
Gig, let's face it. I have great taste (I've been paid big bucks for it, lol), and your writing is great. You are funny beyond measure, witty, an excellent writer... which does not even take into account your fabulous artwork.
Bindu -- you get many awards for your outstanding, informative, substantial posts that are filled with your glorious photography and sometimes your equally glorious art. I wish I had known to tell you in advance about the training here, because people come from all over, then are ready to go to the gulf if needed. Arrgh! I will keep you informed of any more things like this in case you want to come down to do it together or with your husband.
WELCOME RALPH! I'm thrilled you stopped by, and it sounded like you read a few things. I do the same ... I will be stopping by your blog posthaste and hope you'll come back again and again. Post something new here almost every day.
Oh post on giraffes. They were my Dad's favourite animal. I love them too.
Thank you for the award.
Have a wonderful day.

Sydney, thanks for stopping by my blog! I published your comments but they're not appearing. Bah.
You asked about goslings? We saw just one for a week or more, then four, then the river rose and we haven't seen any. We guess this is the same pair as last year when they had five. We're waiting to see if the family reappears.
I'm enjoying your blog and will stop by again later!
Glad you like the award!
