Today is the journey of one of those winners. Flat Harry, from West Virginia, USA, enjoys fishing, so Traveling MarLa created … More Paper Dolls at Victoria Falls

Things Unknown but Longed For Still
16 June 2015
I don’t think after living in South Africa that I could ever keep a caged bird. They are so incredibly happy flying in the trees, and fluttering back and forth to the feeder, and eating together as a large, social unit. Lately, love birds are my most abundant visitors.

The Lighting of the…Baobab?
5 November 2014
I came across this huge, artificial Baobab tree in Lynnwood Bridge last night, and I knew you would want to see it. How beautiful is this tree?
