I didn’t study ornithology, so I am quite confident that what I’m going to say is wrong. But…I think this bird has an unusual look. Has a blackbird crossed eyes (I need to google this question) or was this one so amazed to see me?

Posting also for Photo101 Rehab. Check here how it works.
Did you shoot this one in the Chernobyl area? That would explain things…

Hi Paula, it’s not only a feeling but reality. Last week was pretty busy, mixed with travel, holiday, guests, and not being helped by washing my phone with the laundry.
The writing course ended this weekend and I was late posting the last prompts.
I’m so late replying to comments and reading other blogs…
I’m fine though. Back to ‘normal’. Thanks for asking.
How’re you? Was yesterday a holiday for you?
Abraços

So you have to purchase a new phone – you must be stressed out. Yes, luckily yesterday was a holiday for me, and I am off to my Pilates class in a bit so there will be even more relaxing 🙂 I am travelling in 10 days.

I was not stressed as I thought I would be because of the phone. I enjoyed the fasting for a while.
I stressed when I found a pile of late things to do!
There was not a holiday here yesterday! Great that you could have it.
Enjoy Pilates! Where are you heading to?
