It's amazing that you are so inspired by Africa after coming home and feeling sick for months from the trip. I am amazed at your talent to see the good in life and remain inspired. Also, I think it's time you got an agent for your work. Your post reads like a children's story...one I would love to share with my own children if they were still young. Beautiful little Owen peeking around the bend...charming. Thanks for your lovely comments on my Oasis blog, and your continued warmth.Cynthia Pittmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12656761837022197235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-41495553468405811902010-05-15T06:14:37.825-07:002010-05-15T06:14:37.825-07:00Truly lovely..especially with sweet Owen peaking o...Truly lovely..especially with sweet Owen peaking out of the side!!Big Hugs-Cat<br />*Your Giveaway win is on its way to you.In the Light of the Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306670117383113389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-55013878329508381592010-05-15T03:25:24.412-07:002010-05-15T03:25:24.412-07:00I love it - wonderful - Have a nice weekeend -Inge...I love it - wonderful - Have a nice weekeend -IngeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-42145204179983627762010-05-14T23:28:41.833-07:002010-05-14T23:28:41.833-07:00I wish I can draw as well as you.

I hope it`s Norman`s book you are talking about (for everyone: Norman Carr, Return to the Wild).<br />I sent Lori the book which in 1970 the author gave to my husband and me when we visited his camp in Zambia. He was the founder of the Luangwa Valley Game Reserve, and as my brother had married his daughter (clever man!), we were guests in that magic place<br />(see Spiny Marshmallow, Pam`s blog!)<br />Her father had written this book which you can hardly believe - of how he had brought up two lion cubs and when they were grown up, returned them to the wild. Incredible photos! No wonder it`s worn!<br />This said, I must say I loved your cover, Lori, and hahaha, what a clever idea of Owen to hide there, ALMOST not to be discovered!<br />You are amazing, and Val is right, no end to your talents!
