me and my 'shadow' by quietpurplehaze

me and my 'shadow'

Today we took ourselves off to Hengistbury Head which must rate as one of the magical places in the world. There are stunning views all round from the path across the top of the head.
A flock of starlings was having a communal bath in the water collected in the tarpaulin on a fishing boat. This one obligingly gave me the shot for today's word as we were sitting having a cup of coffee outside.
Super Hazel !!

Thank you. Patricia - you just would not believe how many starling shots I got today - but the ones of them having a bath were just too 'muddly'.

How funny, I have a very similar capture, and I named it exactly the same: http://365project.org/anazad511/365-2/2012-04-18 ;) Of course I like your capture.
