For SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY
ON REFLECTION
Two Female Birds, comparing notes, met at the watering hole.
Said Birdie One 'I very much fear the years are taking their toll.
My wings have lost a certain sheen; my beak is quite revolting.
I dare not look at the top of my head in case I've started moulting!'
Said Birdie Two 'It's true, my dear; when I look at my reflection
I see my tail is drooping down in quite the wrong direction.'
Then both of them began to laugh in that bird-like way that tinkles;
'At least, my dear, we've got feathers!
No-one can see our wrinkles!'

Love your shadow shot and your (their words)! What a great giggle for the afternoon! Thanks, Rinkly!
Oh my, oh my, love this one. That's how I felt today, we ran a fast errand and my hair needed washed, it looked terrible, I hated to go into the store, but we also were riding in the car with the windows down and I thought perhaps people would think the wind did it, and then I thought to myself, with all I've been through the past few years, I'm just happy I have hair (although very thin) and forgot about how it looked. LOL Loved the poem. Have a great week-end.
Hee,hee! liked the rhyme! And the shadow is great. The colour of your bird bowl is beautiful.
Love your shadow shot. Nice little bird bath.
Also, enjoyed your "Parabola" post & I visited the artists site for a further explanation. Thanks for the post.
