This is awkward - lost my clothes

for the ONS9 - Wildlife and 6 Word Story
thank heavens for ONS - it has been a long hot day and my legs and brain are protesting much - it was fab to not have to think too much or move too far - THANKS JERRY!!!!!!
oh and besides a slight crop I have done nothing further
oh - and it is Thursday in Australia right?
one last thing - it is hand held using a combo of my close - up filters because when my brain thought go get tripod my legs said bugger off
