Today, one of my co-workers at Vacation Bible School remarked, "Taking care of 10 pre-schoolers is probably the most effective form of birth control available."

Amen.

I'm working on my final "gift" to my five kiddies. I wanted to do something special for them, so I've been culling through my San Diego zoo pictures to find my favorite photos of African animals. I'm not quite done with my photo editing. The hippopotamus is surrounded by strange orb-shaped discolorations. The rhinocerous is stricken with a bad case of too little midtone contrast. And my zebra photo cannot be salvaged; the wire fence just created too much of an obstacle. But there are some contenders for my final "Serengeti Trek" present.

An okapi in the trees:


Marabou Stork on a stump:


Orangutan on jungle gym:


Roan at rest:


Two giraffe photos --

The indecent one:


The artistic one:


Which one do you like the best? I'm open for suggestions, and I'll be updating with revised pictures as soon as I pump them out.

By the way, I'm tired. And I have a new pair of glasses. They kinda look like Ana's. Sweeeet!
