portion control, blotch, blossoms

Posted by Picasa




















Blackbirds, have a habit of chopping up an earth worm into bite-size pieces ready to feed to their young, and know how to pack an optimum number of portions into their beaks.

This morning, in a rare confrontation with a mirror, I am alarmed by a red blotch on my cheek. A quick rub and it disappears, as I realize that it must be a splash from the pomegranate I was peeling for breakfast.

A neighbour sweeps blossoms from his magnolia into a pile on the pavement as though they are Autumn leaves.
