Camera Critters: Crowned Lemur
I had a lovely time at the zoo's Spring Fling despite the cloudy weather.
It didn't really rain -- it spitted.
The primates were the featured species that morning.
I love visiting the lemurs.
They are always entertaining!

"There's the crazy woman with the camera .... again."
"Quick -- turn your back."
"Maybe she'll go away."

| Mr. Lemur |
The crowned lemur is found in the dry deciduous forests of northern Madagascar. Its diet is made up mostly of flowers, fruits and leaves. It is a medium-sized lemur with a distinctive chestnut-orange crown pattern on their head. They have pseudo-opposable thumbs, binocular vision, are highly intelligent and are on the endangered threatened list. The forests in Madagascar are being destroyed by mining, farming and some lemurs are killed for food or kept as pets.
Thank you to Misty for hosting Camera Critters for 5 years!
Wishing YOU well and much joy!
Happy Easter!

Five Random Things
It's Friday.
Sit back and relax.
I have some random, this and that, things for you.
Thank you, Nancy!

Since today is Good Friday and Easter is Sunday,
here is a reproduction vintage postcard celebrating the holiday.
No artist, publisher or date was listed.
Can you hear the music?!!!
Thank you to the lovely Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday each week.

Sometimes the kitties think simplest toys are the best.
Like an empty box.
In this case, it was a waded up piece of paper.
I think the sound got Cassie's attention.
I threw it across the room, Cassie fetched, and we had a game going that's lasted all week.
Of course, the other two had to get in on the act and two more pieces of paper gave their all in
two furious games of soccer for Teddy and Mina.

I mentioned that I finished a counted cross stitch project.
I couldn't share it with you as it was a birthday gift.
The gift has been delivered and here is the project all finished.
This is a kit I purchased from The Stitchery.

I'm taking part in the Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap.
This is my first postcard swap and the reason I liked it --
I could use photographs of art I had previously made.
Five postcards (goes well with 5 random things) could be made of one image or more.
I made five different postcards using 4 Index Card a Day images and one tea image.
Kat Sloma put the swap together and I should be seeing postcards in the mail by mid April.
I'll share as they come in.
Thank you Kat!

I've started reading As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis Devoto
What a lovely book and what lovely letter writing.
It really makes you think about the lost art of writing ... and writing letters.
I'm taking the letters a few at a time.
Wishing YOU well and much joy this holiday season.
Happy Spring!

Hoppy Spring!
I went to the Spring Fling at the zoo.
Lovely breakfast buffet, a mimosa or two, and cookies!
This morning I decided to make a pot of tea and eat one of those cookies.
The Happiness is a Bunny Rabbit mug is by Emma Bridgewater.
The teapot is hand built porcelain and painted by New Mexico artists -- a husband and wife team.
I've had it for over 30 years.
One of my real treasures.
The cookies are on a bunny plate from Pier One.
I couldn't resist the zebra and the monkey cookies.
There were butterflies and tulips on other cookies,
but I was at the zoo and just had to have the zoo animals.
Cookies By Design made the cookies.
Happy Easter! Some bunny loves you.
And remember --
“Easter is the only time of the year when it's perfectly safe to put all your eggs in one basket.”
Thank you to our tea party hosts:
Wishing YOU well, much joy, a delightful cup of tea and a happy and blessed Easter.
