I had the intention of cleaning up my hard drives but as is often the case I get distracted and waylaid - I came across photos of some of the Aussies animals I have had the pleasure of getting to know and that led me to my theme for January.
This is Ringo - he is a bare-nosed wombat. He was born in August 2013 and rescued after he was orphaned when his mum was hit by a car.
I was lucky enough to meet Ringo when he was only a youngster - he even stayed the night - I have enjoyed watching him grow up over the years. Photos of an older Ringo tomorrow.
being drawn into memory lane is an obvious risk when sorting a hard drive of photos! Far more enjoyable. I never saw wombats before either - so interesting to me too.
I had missed this but today's picture made me go back one day to see it. He is such a lovely baby and very fortunate to have you to care for him. Nice to see you, too. Fav.
