I was in Ternopil just one week ago delivering a rescued dog to a new forever family. What a beautiful city. What sadness that Russia continues to invade Ukraine and attack civilians. I am sharing a few photos I took in Ternopil on November 12.

I was in Irpin, Ukraine today. This town was occupied by Russia in 2022, and heavily damaged in the fighting. It is being rebuilt, even as the war rages elsewhere.

This week’s nature photo was taken with my iPhone a couple of weeks ago while visiting Chobe National Park in Botswana. We drove quite close to two lions who were sleeping during the heat of the day.

This week’s nature photos were shot on my iPhone while visiting Chobe National Park in Botswana earlier this month.
I was in the park for only 3 hours, but I saw so many animals, I’ll have photos to share for multiple months. What an amazing experience! These elephants had just taken mud baths.

This week’s animal photo was taken while shopping for handicrafts in the artisan market near Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
The following day I took a 3 hour game drive in Chobe National Park (Botswana), and saw almost 1000 animals!
I’ll share some of those photos in subsequent weeks.

This week’s animal photos were taken at the Bangkok Snake Farm where anti-venom is produced. It was across the street from the hospital complex where the United Against Rabies conference I was attending in support of the Ukrainian War Animal Rescue Fund (UWARF) was held.

Clearly Trump has prioritized tax cuts for the wealthy (over $1 trillion) over the nations health; since he has significantly cut back on cancer research, and reduced all funding for ObamaCare, Medicaid, and Medicare by over $1 trillion, (to fund tax cuts).

William Mayo was correct.
