Mina's Journal

Last night we watched 'Kung Fu Panda 2'. Yes, I love kids' movies. So well done, the story well figured, amazing graphics - and detail: architectural detail in the buldings and the gorgeous colours in the dream sequences. I also particularly liked the cartoony style of the Panda stories that covered the closing credits. A huge surprise at the end for us and anticipation of a third Kung Fu Panda movie. I am quite enamoured by Master Shifu - voice played by Dustin Hoffman. Maybe its the mix of sage and humour of the character or that I just like a good, strong man. I thought Shifu was a mouse/racoony type hybrid - but he's actually a Red Panda! Get that! ...SKEDOOSH!... I'm working on some simple drawings for a Wild Animal series. Here's the Panda one. :)

Just had to show you these. Darcy's first day at kindy. The 'Lucky Shot' title of this post has more to do with capturing the pictures, I think, than Darcy's ability.  ....careful aim..... tongue in the right place...take no notice of Naaz (pronounced 'Narz')....she's got that camera out again... ...BOOMFAH!....I did it!!!... I don't know who was more elated, getting the photo was pure luck! Very thankful, I am, for lots of things in my life. Every now and then I have to stop and say 'How did I deserve this?' I'm not going to ponder on the answer - just going to go around enjoying the good. These downloads for Thank You Cards are at the post in the link: Easy Printables: Thank You Card Templates :)
