Today we all set off on a short road trip to Midrand to visit Lory Park. It’s always such a treat to visit there. The animals are well cared for and have beautiful living conditions.  It’s also a wonderful learning experience for the whole family, the rangers actually allow visitors to go into certain cages and have a close-up experience with many of the animals. The little colourful bird in the above photo was so friendly, he flew around, sang to us and followed us as far as he could when we walked by his aviary. I highly reccomend a visit there if you are nearby.

Tomorrow is Creative Friday, I am busy knitting on my Forest Glade cowl, so I will hopefully have a few photos to share with you:)

    Who *wouldn’t* want a knitted lemur?! They’ve always been my favorite (well, aside from oppossums). (:

    I agree with eidolons, who WOULDN’T want to knit a lemur. Lemurs and Meerkats, adorable. Ooooo, opossum. You MUST design an opossum. I have one that lives in my woodpile. I love watching him walk along the top of the fence. Years ago we had one that my TINY Yorkshire Terrier would drag out of the woodpile and bring it to the deck to clean. Of course, it played dead the entire time. Dillon would clean it from head to toe until I made him come in the house. Then, the opossum would wait until the coast was clear, shake off, and walk back to the woodpile. Next day, it would start all over again.

    My thoughts exactly… “Who wouldn’t want a knitted lemur?!?!”
    … or an iguana!

    I enjoy your trips to places I’ll never get to. Great pictures.
    With all do respect, a lemur’s way more cuddly than a warthog. And, a quick internet search shows some other folks like knitted lemurs, too. It’s the tail; it’s gorgeous.

    “Who would not want a knitted lemur?” I think it is a wonderful idea! :)
    I would love to knit one too and a meerkat lol

    I might be interested in the meerkat, then the lemur. Of course that eagle was interesting too. But just to be contrary, the tiger would be wonderful and then a black panther. Our all black cat Lopez likes to think he is a panther.
