My 6 word autobiography: Seeking ways to make a difference. This blog provides more information packed comments than possible in blog comments. I'm not an expert in any field but interested in many. Content is open to correction if needed.
This isn't an extended comment rather a report on a day of fun with some children in a school vacation care group. They were given the chance to visit the local Panboola Wetlands Reserve and make use of cameras. They were encouraged to take interesting and/or unusual photos after I shared some of my photos. Below are selections taken by three boys (9 and 10 years old) who borrowed my spare camera. I thought them worth sharing.

Of course, it was also a chance to add a photo of my own when two children asked me to photograph their toys. When posed, I thought they were a great base for a poster or presentation on friendship. I then added a photo of their hands.

Alexis wants to become a vet. I explained part of my degree was the study of animal behaviour, my fondest memories included spending some time studying the behaviour of South American spider monkeys at Sydney's Taronga Zoo. I wanted to share one of the photos taken about 40 years back. This photo is a scan of a 35mm slide.

Alexis, knowing you love animals, I thought I would share a video clip of an unusual friendship in Australia's Darling Downs Zoo. Honey and Kwanza are best friends. Kwanza's mother wasn't able to produce enough milk so Kwanza has been hand reared. As Kwanza has much growing to do, he won't be able to play with Honey much longer but what you can see is an amazing friendship. 🙂
