We all know about the story of this famous nanny !
I took a liking to a sculpture of a nanny goat when I was at the Picasso Museum in Paris and decided to do a drawing based on it. I don’t know if Picasso would have approved, but I had great fun doing it. The original is called Nanny Goat (Chevre) and was sculpted in 1950, the year I was born. I used A3 paper and coloured pencils. FEATURED BY THE EXCEPTIONAL EKPHRASIS GROUP – 13th November 2008 FEATURED BY INSPIRED ART – 31st March 2009

Mandrill Baboon mother does what mothers do to her progeny at Melbourne Zoo. The Mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate of the Cercopithecidae(Old-world monkeys) family, closely related to the baboons and even more closely to the Drill. . The Mandrill is the world’s largest species of monkey. / The Mandrill is recognised by its olive-coloured fur and the colourful face and rump of males, a colouration that grows stronger with sexual maturity; females have duller colours. Males can weigh up to 60 lbs (30 kg), females about half as much (30lbs). Unusually large males can weigh 110 lbs (50 kg).[2] They can grow to be about 1 m long (39 in) and can survive up to 31 years in captivity. Females reach sexual maturity at about 3.5 years. / The Mandrill is found in the tropical rainforests of southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo. / The Mandrill is an omnivore and acquires its food by foraging (mainly plants, insects and smaller animals) from the ground as it is terrestrial. Its main natural predators are leopards, pythons and man. A large group of mandrills can cause significant damage to crops in a very short time, and where common they are widely perceived as pests. Mandrills are hunted for food throughout their range, either with guns or using dogs and nets. In Cameroon, habitat loss to agriculture is also a threat. Although the Mandrill does not normally hunt larger prey, males have been observed to hunt and consume duiker (a small antelope). / ~Wikipedia / Panasonic FZ20 / 87mm, 1/125s, f/4.0, ISO :200
This is one of my grandmother’s roses, she’s got so many beautiful flowers in the garden. I thought it would be nice to give her a card of one of her blooms.

It came from the heart (mine is enrobed in cholesterol) and may it go to the heart. Lips turning blue and shooting pains up your left side? Stop whining – it’s only heartburn.
This nanny goat was a big hit at the market on Pender Island, British Columbia.

I was going through some pics from last summer and found this one. Decided I’d post it. He (or she) is probably one of the yearlings I saw this year. Location: Mt Evans
Made for my Grandma Butterflies, flowers and seasonal images.
As is. / My Grandma ( I call her Nannie ) gave me this plant before she moved up to the New England area. Her birthday is next month and she will be 90. I miss her so much
The two little girls who were in “Togtherness” picture was accompanied by this mature lady. I hope she might be their grand mother, but she may be their nanny.

Precious is really precious to our family. She is my sweetheart and makes sure she knows where I am and follows wherever I go in the house. She plays with the kids, loves each one. Lets them hug and pet her. She makes sure that Jasper doesn’t get too near our cockatiel and makes sure that Kitty can come in the house without being hassled by Jasper. She lets me know when one of the cats need to go outside. Overall she is the “Nanny” of our home. She reminds me of the dog in Peter Pan. The only way I can get Precious to let me take her picture is if I play ball and snap pictures while she isn’t noticing. We had her groomed and her hair cut short for the summer, so she almost looks like a different dog. Here she is waiting for me to throw the ball, all her attention on the ball and my hand to be able to take off the minute I throw. This is one of her favorite things to do!
Pencil & pen. Another doodle & where it took me
My grandmother gave me this tea set way back when I was a little girl. It is bone china made in England, Royal Worcester, Florizel. I’m not sure of the value. My grandmother (96) passed 4-years ago, that’s where I place my value of this cup and saucer. Seems like it was just yesterday my grandmother, my nanny, gave me this treasured and collectible coffee cup and saucer. They are both tea-cup size and so delicate. I would not take for this. I have three other sisters, but my grandmother chose to give it to me, I was the youngest and spent the most time growing up around her. We both had/have a love for all animals, she loved her doves and her parakeets. At one time she even had a parrot. She even had a love for those great big ugly yellow and black spiders, you know the one’s that are supposed to be our friends and kill all the bugs and mosquito’s, ewe? She had them all around her house. She lived across the street from us when I was growing up so I saw her almost everyday from birth to age 21 when I married and moved out. Anyway, I remember all those spiders around her house, she called them her “babies”. That was the one thing we did not share, her love for spiders, LOL! My parents have pets, but do not share the same love for them as my grandmother and I did, so I know I was blessed with my love for animals through my grandmother. She bought me two rings shortly after my twin son died, back in 1988. When she handed me the first ring I asked her what did I do to deserve such a beautiful ring? Her words to me were “because she knew a little girl who had been through so much in the past year and it was just because”, meaning me and the hurt and grief I went through that past year over the time spent going back and forth to the hospital and then losing my son. Then the 2nd ring, no real reason, she just wanted to. So you see, she was so special. I have another whole set of coffee cups and saucers, and lots of little trinkets she gave me. I was even given two sets of pearls a few years after she died. My sister-in-law had them and told me she knew she would have wanted me to have them. I will always cherish those pearls. I hope to photograph them in a special way and show them off here at Redbubble, in memory of my grandmother. I also have some photos of her as a young girl and one of her holding her last birthday cake, the last year we were able to celebrate her birthday. Born in 1908, passed in 2004. I know in my heart I will see her again some day. I can just hear her now “what took you so long”, LOL?
