Day 121. April 30.

Day One Hundred Twenty One. I have been sick for almost a week. My iPhone has been with me the whole time. It rests on my lap. I do not even notice it is there. If this was the late seventies I would have a three to four pound big box on my lap that has a corded handset and is plugged into the wall. Picture shot with iPhone, handheld.

Day 117. April 26.

Day One Hundred Seventeen. April 26. Picture # 117. "Happy Hatch Day". This beautiful bird decided one year ago to the day, to use his powerful beak to break his egg and discover a much larger world. He is a Sun Conure parrot, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Conure. His human is Jill Jackson. She discovered him at a pet store and it seemed like love at first sight for both of them. Jill with very little effort convinced her mother that they really needed a bird to add to their already ecletic menagerie. Which consists of the dog CoBo Joe who runs herd over two Maine Coon cats,six Guinea Pigs, one Roborovski Hamster and a Goldfish. Jill named her new feathered friend "Sunny". Sunny quickly won over everyone in the house with his personality and amazing ability to learn tricks. He will give his people high fives and fist bumps, He is quite the accomplished dancer bobbing back and forth in greeting. He uses his very sharp scary beak to give the gentlest of kisses. When he is in a good mood he will even talk asking for a kiss in a vaguely German Accent. So "Sunny" is one year old today. Canon Rebel XTI, handheld. 28-135mm lens. Focal length 80mm. f/5. ISO 1600.
