Returning to our regularly scheduled program, today’s photo-of-the-week is in the shape and size of another fine feathered friend of mine, found in Annecy, this time…

A delightful fellow and dare I say, most cooperative subject.

Cheers!

But that’s another story…

Returning to our regularly scheduled program, I met my fine feathered friend here in the Parc de la Tête d’Or…

…or as I like to call it, park of “Look out, there’s a jogger running you over!”. I kid, I kid, lovely park and all that, and I’m sure there’ll be more photos of it once the rose garden is in bloom. I hear it’s a thing of beauty.

Till next time, ta-ta, au revoir, and whatnot…

However, the photos I took today aren’t ready to be posted just yet, but I will leave you with something (almost) equally warm and fuzzy…

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a pretty butterfly…

That having been said, I must now run along and make a mess of the fine art of packing. Cheers!

It proved to be my most cooperative live subject so far.

I was in a profoundly jolly “if I were to put in my two weeks’ notice tomorrow, would anyone give a rat’s behind?” sort of mood earlier today, so I suppose I should be thankful I’m now in that slightly more cheerful state of numbness where you manage to drop a sock into the turtle tank and find it mildly amusing.

Normally, I’d dismiss that sort of thing saying nobody wanted to hear about that, but my turtle glared at me as if wanting to express how deeply un-amusing he found the incident. It was probably at that point that it occurred to me how I still was yet to offer him center stage in my strange little corner of online space. It seemed like a good way to make up for the sock incident and all…

So that would be Mitica, in all his algae-prone, thermometer killing splendor.

In other news, the stickers I was talking about last time I dropped by are printed and all nice and shiny and ready to vandalize buses and park benches all over town.
