Miscellany Part 2

   While going through the videos I took, I found this one of Buffy trying to steal sugar cane from Easy.  Sugar cane is a rare treat for the Big Four, and they love it!  Each elephant had been given a piece the size of a piece of firewood, and Buffy, having finished hers first, thought she'd help herself to Easy's.  Easy declined to share, however, so Buffy had to make do with a multiple-itch scratch.




One day when Meagan and I were out with the mahouts and the Big Four, I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye of what appeared to be a tiny brightly colored whirling umbrella.  I thought it was either:  A. An alien spaceship on a mission to the elephants of Mondulkiri; B. A hummingbird, or: C.  A hallucination resulting from dehydration or something or other.  Wrong on all counts!  Here is the photo Meagan got of it.  Wish we could have gotten a shot of it while it was in flight.


A world class bug!

And the last miscellaneous photo I'd like to show you is something that arrived at home the day I got back.  It was from my dear friends The Inalienables welcoming me back from my huge adventure!

 

 Just one more blog entry after this!

  1. I like how Buffy waits for Easy to get the sugar cane all nice and frayed and then try to get it out of Buffy's mouth. Wouldn't it be easier to steel it off the ground? I think she was just being a pain in the @ss. As for the Bug I just saw on Dual survival last night that any bug that is brightly colored should not be eaten. It is highly toxic. So not knowing if than means you not touch it either, I would probably not touch it. But then I'm not one to play with bugs no matter what color they are. ewwww! Opps had a girl moment, I'm working on that. Now for the flowers. They are incredibly beautiful! Maybe just the appropriate theme made them that much more special, whatever the case I love them! Those made me realize that I have not wished you a huge WELCOME HOME! My mouth and my brain have not been playing nice these days. So glad you are home safe!
