How I envy you those blue skies! And the lovely birds, of course.

Now, thanks to Marcia Stager's buddy Robert, I know - toasted marshmallows! These sitting birds are studies in patience - peaceful waiting. Looking at them is very restorative. The shadow of the avocet's bill curving down her neck is beautiful! Lovely, lovely, thank you!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since your posting of avocets in early May, I’ve been trying to think what they remind me of.
