Wow! This was such a neat bird, I had to post it. The African Skimmer has a bill structure that is one of a kind. The lower bill is much longer than the upper bill, and flattened sideways like scissor blades. African skimmers fly in lines over calm waters, and dip their lower bills in the water to feed. When the bill touches a fish, the skimmer snaps its mouth shut. They feed mostly at dawn and dusk and have good night vision.   Wading Birds, also known as, Water Birds have flown the coop! Finally, back on track after a busy 9 months!
Up next: Seabirds Auklet, Cormorant, Frigate, Gannet, Guillemot, Pelican, Penguin, Puffin, Seagull, Skimmer, Tern, Tropicbird We saw a mess of pelicans at a local wildlife refuge. Not sure if they are just stopping over for a quick bite and then heading south?? I'll have to research that... [Just noticed the spacing issue in Flamingo text, so fixed that!]

 SELECT IMAGE TO ENLARGE | Hello there! One more page, Intriguing Info, and I. AM. DONE. with Chapter 2! So, that means 1/4 of the way done on the book!!! Then I will need to do the Chapter 3 Head similar to this. I treasure and appreciate your prayers for God's leading, focus for the book, and my health. Thank you! I can not do this book alone, you all are a part of it! Many, many blessings & love, Jacque |
Hi there. Normally I don't post a whole page spread, but for this one I thought it important to do so.
I will proofread the entire book at the end, but if you see any errors please send them my way.
I can always use a top notch proofreader...unfortunately, there's no pay...just the satisfaction of a job well done for our Heavenly Father. Maybe after the book comes out, I would be able to pay you a small stipend.
Marsupials are up next. Then the last page of Chapter 2 and I'm 1/4 of the way done!!!

I zipped through Monkeys. I can only attribute that to prayer, because that's the fastest I've got a section done. The Ape - Monkey - Prosimian sections are the only ones I will be putting up in their entirety. I thought it was important to see all the facts on both pages. Last one left to do...Prosimians. Ciao! Jacque
Here's a bit of page 52 with the Apes. Just stuck with the facts. Monkeys and Prosimians to follow.

If you so feel lead, please continue to pray for this book. For Gods direction, consistent focus for me, and for good health. This book was never meant to be a 'work of art' but to show how phenomenal this world is. There is overwhelming evidence of a Creator. When I envision the book in its entirety, I see the order, symmetry and beauty of all of creation. Romans 1:20

 A wee sample | Hey there! I finally finished pages 32 & 33 of Chapter 2 - Animals: Herbivores. Here's what's on these 2 pages; Bison, Cape Buffalo, Elk, Gazelle, Giant Eland, Llama, Musk Ox, Okapi, Pika, Rabbit, Tamaraw, and a Yak. Pages 30 & 31 of Chapter 2 were Carnivores. I was delayed because of some unforseen issues. Now I'm back working full-time and the next page spread (which is page 34 & 35) is Herbivores - Elephant. Looking forward to this one! If I may ask again for continued prayers for health, focus, and stamina, it would be most appreciated! Eternally grateful! Jacque |
| Yes! Humans - Chapter 1 is done! This is the last page of Chapter 1. I thought I would put this page up as it's so fascinating to know how God has his hand in every aspect of our existence. We are fearfully and wonderfully made! Looking back, I see it took me 11 months to complete Chapter 1. That was including doing 2 Chapter pages and pre-press stuff, so hopefully I can speed up as I'm only doing the chapter now. Now on to Animals - Chapter 2. I have one page spread done from this chapter. If you look back on previous posts you can view those 2 pages and it's Chapter page (11/5/2015). This was the page spread I did for a sample to the printers. I may or may not revise those 2 pages. Thanks for your ongoing prayers. They are always needed and appreciated! That's all folks! Jac |

Help me, O Lord, lest my heart become proud, For all of my talents by You are endowed; Nothing I have can I claim as my own, What mercy and grace in my life You have shown. —D. De Haan
