Monochrome Weekend

I went to the hairdresser today.
This corner is separated from the washing area by a mirrored folding screen.

WD40 is something I don't normally expect to see there!

Aileni started this theme.
Many very fine photos can be found through the Monochrome site.

This spring I grew a hyacinth in a glass. After the flower died I moved the glass - and the sun shone through!

Busy Birds

The Blue Tits are busy!
About a week ago I saw one investigating the nest box that's been on the side of our shed for about a year.
Today, as we were in the kitchen, one of the birds flew inside the box with some grass in its beak.
This happened again and again (interspersed with aggressive behaviour towards a visiting Chaffinch)
I was lucky enough to grab these three shots.

Just look at that beak-full of moss!

And here's some dry grass.

Is anyone out there?

These aren't the best bird photos ever posted on a blog, but I'm so thrilled to have caught them. Believe me, I'll be watching events very carefully!

The sea is nowhere near as calm as last week's photo!

Visit Aileni and the Monochrome page for many photos from around the world.
