This photograph was used as I commissioned an artist friend to add her skill and soul to the work. We now have her heart's work as a painting on our wall. The older lady and younger lady share life and burdens as they lighten the load in each other's company.
Artwork is in note.

Raptor Release
|
|

Merlin gets discharged from the rehabilitation center after a month of recuperation. We took him back where we found him as a juvenile. The volunteers at the center said that the parents will find him and teach him to hunt. We did not receive so much as a thank you from the bird.

Diagnosis Raptor Concussion

This little Merlin is being examined after I found him unable to fly in what I suppose was a collision with a plate glass window. They took good care of him and after he lost his baby feathers, he was released back to his parents.

Juvenile Merlin with a Headache

I found this little fellow unable to fly after what we suppose was an unfortunate encounter with a plate glass window. I boxed him up and we found a raptor rehabilitation center. He had a concussion so they put him in a hyperbaric chamber then kept him until his baby feathers were gone. The sign of a concussion is how wide his irises are even with a bright light shining on them. Look carefully and you will see.

There should be enough Xs in the ceiling of the British Museum to satisfy our usual stalling at X in the Alphabet Site.
One Can Always Look Up

The sky is always different when you travel in one way or another. We know we are somewhere different by just looking up. Here I was on a long bus trip across Zambia when I saw this magnificent sight.

On a layover at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 I looked up and saw these two signs together. It was probably the overnight flight speaking but this moment of culture shock stunned me.
