SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY and THROUGH MY LENS

• Time again for the weekly Scavenger Hunt Sunday and the photographs below is how I have illustrated the words.

• 1. Winter
• Above in image taken in in Ward Park which i jut 2 minute from my home and below is a shot taken my my bedroom window.

• 2. Mail
• I have just returned from flying from Gatwick to Belfast last week and I photographed this Royal Mail pillar box at the airport and below are some of the Christmas mail that I have ready for posting.

• 4. Tradition
• In my daughter' church there is a tradition that on one day before Christmas they have a day where they give away free new items that have been donated to the lesS fortunate.  They dressed up for this event.  This is my daughter Gillian and my grandson Matthew.  Below is a very British tradition of eating Brussels sprouts with your Christmas dinner. 

• 3. Cup of Cheer
• Now I know thee are not in a cup however I thought they were hilarious and certainly if you had taken a 'cup of cheer' of the above, you might end up very tipsy!

• 5. Lights

Both these shots were photographed at the Victoria Centre in Belfast.  

I hope you enjoyed this post and I thanks you for visiting today.

I had bad news yesterday.  My family in Malawi had a head on car crash (not their fault) and were all injured but all alive.   Praise the Lord.  If any of you can pray for a speedy recovery for them, I would appreciate it.  Their names are Jon, Judith, Daniel and Annika.  i will be arriving in Malawi on Thursday.

SUNDAY THOUGHT - Lifupa Conversation Lodge (Part 16 )

The Little Children and Jesus 

People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Luke 18:15-17

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS - Lifupa Conversation Lodge (Part 14 )

As I mentioned yesterday, there was often a mist in the early morning but I quite liked it as it was  always peaceful with the Hippos popping up and down in the water.  They had quite a number of calves.  

I hope you enjoyed this post.

GOOD FENCES - Lifupa Conversation Lodge (Part 13 )

These are the lodges we stayed in.  We had two, one for the girls and the other for the boys.  We were quite safe when we were’ fenced’ inside them.  The Hippos would all come out of the water at night and pass by the lodges and come back down in the early hours of the morning.  

This is the centre where I showed you recently an observation room upstairs overlooking the lake and a restaurant below it.

Sometimes in the early morning it was a bit misty but I could sit and watch the wild life from the lodge.  You can see in this sequence of shots, when the Antelope realised I was watching him. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing this post and thanks for popping by.
