Savour: Illustration Friday

The picniking pangolin savoured the crunch of each and every ant that crossed his blanket that afternoon.
Hooray for pangolins! Native to Asia and Africa, these unique mammals look a little like the child of an artichoke and an armadillo. Last summer we visited the Angkor Center for Conservation of Biodiversity. They had a pangolin rescued from poachers and they're working on starting up a breeding program.

BENEATH: Illustration Friday

From BENEATH a curtain of limestone and moss, we emerged into a chamber in the heart of the mountain. Hundreds of seated Buddahs gazed down from their perches in every cranny of the mountain. In the center of it all, under the protection of an ornate temple, a large reclining Buddah slumbered peacefully.

Wat Kirisan - Phnom Sor - Cambodia

My family had the privilege of visiting this magical place which actually exists, near Kep, Cambodia. The temple is Wat Kirisan, built into the base of Phnom Sor cave moutain. Watch our video of Wat Kirisan!
