Here's a British Cowboy and the Texas Rockhouse loves him since this man will be bringing smiles wherever he goes.





Free State Province, South Africa

Three-year-old white rhino with a hide covering his open wounds. Named Wasida, Zulu for Survivor, he was shot twice through the head by poachers before having his horns removed. Wasida is being cared for by the Saving the Survivors vets initiative.

At first this looks horrible but Wasida has been rescued and now the prospects look good.  The covering likely protects the wounded tissue while also providing air circulation to help it heal.  Good luck to Wasida.

The Roma people are often called Gypsies and are persecuted by just about everyone but we see no basis for that in this little girl.

The monastery shows features similar to a small Greek church near Katakolo which I loved since it also had paintings and colors everywhere.  It's glorious.

Zen Yogi:  everybody loves him

All except a few cranks in Dodge City, Yogi.  Pope Francis is such a marvelous human.  I'm not even Catholic and yet I respect him tremendously.
