Birds of a feather

Today was a busy work day, with several meetings and the last of the evaluations I need to do of other people. I still have paperwork to do and that kind of nonsense. Up next is sketching out goals and work plans for the year ahead.

We went into town to grocery shop and ended up having dinner at the Side Street Cafe. Then a lovely walk in the evening.

KATE MccGWIRE is a very cool artist who makes sculptures with feathers. Here is an article with a more focused look at her feather work.

Foggy, cool morning, but still warmer than it was earlier in the week
A couple of might fine hand-whittled walking sticks
hint of blue!
Another Osprey nest. They certainly know how to pick iconic trees to build their nests in!
lots of blue by evening and it was a warm lovely day in the mid 70's
purple on one side and orange on the other.
Baby osprey: constantly yodeling in a very high-pitched voice, trying to get someone to bring more food.

Have an expansive day,

Sending oodles of love,
