Sadness in Stone
This is another statue from my trip to Cyprus several years ago. I think she looks a little unhappy, what do you think? What did this image teach me? That taking time to scroll back through the archive of photos is always time well spent.

The Egret
This is a Little Egret, sat upon a branch enjoying the sunshine – whilst secretly thinking about fish. What did this image teach me? Little Egrets are fairly recent colonists in the UK, they first appeared in any significant numbers in 1989.
