Magic in the sunbeams

I thought this pic was a good way to end the bookclub challenge - it seems to sum up 'the art of seeing' to me. Magic had just had a bath and was drying off in the sunshine. This was the only pic I managed to get though - the next one involves her sitting on the camera, and then she wouldn't get off!

Thanks to @archaeofrog for the interesting challenge :) Next month will be going around the world: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/19097/around-the-world-in-30-days-september-challenge

PS Yesterday's pic was of some post-it notes on my desk at work :) You're all far too clever at guessing!

Beautiful capture of her and great use of the back light.
Who did do the damage on the blinds ?

[alia_801]

@pyrrhula The blinds redevelopment was all Phoenix's work. She has hidden interior design talents - she can turn anything into a parrot perch given enough time :) (At the moment, she's using my head)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful use of light in this shot, Alia. Love it.

[Bev]

Great shot of Magic, Alia! You have captured her so wonderfully. I love how she is part in sun and part in shade. Very well done! :)

[Pyrrhula]

@alia_801 Love is blind , but don`t do pic. of you head next days. Until she found something new.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Magic loves that camera- especially as a perch! I like how you can feel the warmth in this shot. Nicely captured.
