Thank goodness for the brave blackbirds.
Wonderful Mrs B is so sweet.
And she looks wonderful here: Dave "tidied up" my photograph. Wow!!!
I managed one shot of Son of Bob, who was high in the back lilac. He's been singing all day. No visits.
I will carry on practicing. Makes sense now that I have it to use it. Dave recommended some YouTube channels. (Secretly, I find it hard to concentrate on anything that isn't a) a book about how humans have screwed up the world or b) a TV show with an absurd storyline. Though I am enjoying a book that's outside my usual bailiwick: The Rain Heron, by Robbie Arnott.)
Any other news? Ummmm... no. Not really.
Mrs B was a good model ! I'm pleased that you've got you the new camera to work with. I'm about half way through (going to read more now) the review of The Rain Heron (it's a long review!). It's got me thinking about mythological stuff.
