Animals blessed by an Angel

During my time as a Squidoo Angel, one of the greatest pleasures was finding lenses that brought an instant smile to my face. Lenses that would otherwise have slipped under my radar.

The best of these were the stories of animals, of pet dogs and cat companions. Of elephants and other magnificent beasts in their daily struggle to survive against their deadliest enemy - us.

I found stories told with love for these household friends, with respect and compassion for the creatures of the wild and it was truly a blessing for me to read them.

As humans we have a need to care for other creatures and fulfilling that need makes better people of us all.

Here are some special animals, blessed by an angel.

Glory be to God for All Things Dappled 

Tribute to Speckles and Spots

First of all, a tribute from Lensmaster Vladi to set the tone for the list of Angel Blessings below
featured lens Pied Beauty

Who says a cat can't appreciate poetry? Like Gerard Manly Hopkins, I appreciate the speckled, freckled, brindled, stippled, peppered and spotted. Yes, cats have an eye for beauty too. When you look around, the number of beautiful spotted things...

Beautiful Birds 

Blessed by an Angel

featured lens The New Zealand Tui Bird

The tui is a well known and wonderful endemic New Zealand bird.  It is somewhat larger than a blackbird, and if seated on my shoulder would have its head level with the top of mine. They are rather common around the house, as we live in the Waita...

featured lens My Favorite Songbirds

Life can be stressful. When I need a break, need to unwind, I slip outside and spend an hour listening to the birds sing. Listening to the birds and communing with nature relaxes me. I didn't start out as a bird watcher, but evolved into one. If mu...

featured lens Hummingbirds

I just adore hummingbirds. The tiny little winged creatures fly around so quickly you seldom get to enjoy them. The creatures are quick and difficult to capture in a photo but they are worth the time it takes to get a great shot. This lens is a tribu...

featured lens My Sunbirds in Bangkok

Olive-backed Sunbirds are common in Thailand, even in Bangkok where I live. I am often amazed that these beautiful little birds manage to thrive in such a polluted, busy, urban area but thrive they do and a pair frequently visit the few plants that...

Hello from an Old Angel 

An introduction

I use the world old in many senses here. Choose as many nuances as you wish, you'll most probably be right every time.
featured lens No Angel

At least not in the sense I imagine angels to be. I would like to clear up a few points. Firstly, angels are sexless creatures. This just isn't true in my case, I'm definitely a woman. I did once read that angels are composed of ethereal matter, an...

10% of my income goes to continue the work of Fred Hollows in treating avoidable blindness and improving indigenous health.

Photo : Khim Rath, who can now see after a successful cataract operation, Kampong Chhnang province, Cambodia.

Blindness is a significant public health issue in Cambodia. Over 160,000 people are blind and an additional 20,000 become blind each year. The main cause of blindness is cataract, which can be treated by a simple 15 minute operation at an average cost of $25 (AUD$35).
