Photo Journal/ Travel Theme: Animals

Ailsa’s Travel Theme this week is All about Animals. It was fun going over my database of animal photographs as we have visited quite a number of zoos, safari, bird parks over the years. Here are just a few that I wish to share with you.

Bird Park, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

“The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.” 
― J.M. BarrieThe Little White Bird

“Birds…scream at the top of their lungs in horrified hellish rage every morning at daybreak to warn us all of the truth. They know the truth. Screaming bloody murder all over the world in our ears, but sadly we don’t speak bird.” 
― Kurt Cobain

“In order to see birds it is necessary to become a part of the silence.” 
― Robert Lynd

Singapore Zoo

It is not part of a true culture to tame tigers, any more than it is to make sheep ferocious. 
– Henry David Thoreau 

“A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky.” – Maya Angelou

“A person’s a person, no matter how small.” 
― Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!

How about you, dear friends, what is your animal photo for the week?

Myra is a Teacher Educator and a registered clinical psychologist based in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. Prior to moving to the Middle East, she lived for eleven years in Singapore serving as a teacher educator. She has edited five books on rediscovering children’s literature in Asia (with a focus on the Philippines, Malaysia, India, China, Japan) as part of the proceedings for the Asian Festival of Children’s Content where she served as the Chair of the Programme Committee for the Asian Children’s Writers and Illustrators Conference from 2011 until 2019. While she is an academic by day, she is a closet poet and a book hunter at heart. When she is not reading or writing about books or planning her next reads, she is hoping desperately to smash that shuttlecock to smithereens because Badminton Is Life (still looking for badminton courts here at UAE - suggestions are most welcome).
