Your photos are great, such nice shots on the right moments. I really like the girl with the sunglasses, she reminds me of my own youth when my sister and I used to put on our mother’s pumps and imagined that we were princesses or queens.

Hi Cee. I thought I would get on with post while waiting to leave for airport. (Going to Malta for a week) .
However, can’t log into WordPress dashboard and getting white screen of death and fatal error message about memory exhausted.
So, no blogging for me until I get back. I think I’m getting withdrawal symptoms already !!!!
When I get back and find some expert help, I’ll do my own post about
animals’ facial features!
Kindest regards, Helen

Your photos are an inspiration for me to always observe, further explore & just keep taking pics. When I saw your photo of the eagle, it actually reminded me of the pic I took last week when I caught a pigeon snoozing. 😀
