A kidney stone, coupled with an infection has set me back five days – two trying to soldier through the pain, and three pursuing medical answers. Anyway, I’m on the mend, tired already of this foray into self-pity. Tomorrow, I keep telling myself, is a new day. (Image my own)

Great shot – it is amazing how it can hold on like that. I guess when food is involved, one gets motivated no matter what the species is. 🙂

Nature’s artistry at best. It’s quite cold here – guess that’s how the birds cope.
