THE WORLD OF ELEPHANTS

 It's a lot more cooler yesterday and today as the weather cooperates which is a blessing in disguise because recently wildfires consumed the forest in the province of Manitoba and unfortunately 2 people perished when they were trapped by raging flames. It seems to me that those wildfires wont leave Canada as it is frequently common now during Spring-Summer season.That's why caution to everyone not to cause fire or be conscientious not to cause a spark. Can you just imagine how many wild deer, elks, cougars, rodents, beavers, moose, bears, mountain goats, wolverines, bighorn sheep, rocky mountain bighorns and other animals in the forest. Tsk! tsk!

Well don't know if the authority will even allow fireworks on Victoria Day celebration on Monday. The only safe fireworks are on the barge on the middle of the bay, sea, or river perhaps surrounded by any body of water. 

I'm always being asked by some people about what I'm gonna do on weekends. What is my plan for the next day. What I'm having for my dinner. This reminds me of the proverbial pachyderm in the poem by Rudyard Kipling about the insatiable curiosity of the curious baby elephant. 

Her curiosity led to asking all the animals in the jungle of what they will have to eat or what they had eaten. It was a very clever, interesting poem like almost a story. There was a twist at the end of the story which is hilarious.

 

I love Elephants because of their nocturnal, mammalian quality of caring and protecting their family. So many beautiful stories about elephants, some are too amazing and few stories unfortunately can make you cry because of those bad poachers hunting them for precious ivory. 

 

I had sketched and painted so many elephants way back then including digital paint of these lovely, huge jungle animals. They are considered kings and queens of the jungles just like lions because their presence or visibility among their species are just not only one of a kind but somewhat territorial. They are only predatory when provoke. They traveled by herds and helped one another in times of danger.

They are weightlifters able to carry heavy loads such as logs, lumbers, vaults, and what have you got?

Hmm... I'm craving for fish. LOL.

Dinner: Panfried pompano fish with chili garlic sauce, steamed rice, steamed brussel sprouts and broccoli.

That was last night's dinner.

Lunch: Special pork fried rice with shredded carrots, eggs, onions, garlic, celery, spices, green peas, and shrimps.

Dinner tonight? Probably munggo with beef or pork and shrimps. Spinach instead of bittermelon.

CIAO!! Bon appetito.
