Thursday’s Special: A Snap i.e. Artu
Artu was kept in a cage on a hill overlooking Varenna on lake Como. The sun was coming down and the bars were blocking the view, so I had to come very close. Unlike Regina who screamed her lungs out at the site of me and other impertinent tourists, Artu just gave me this dumbfounded look.
**About Thursday’s Special: It is a ‘non-challenge’ challenge that appeals to bloggers eager to wake up their creativity and show their own ideas and interpretation of the world. I invite everybody interested to join in. There are no themes, titles and techniques set for your expression, there are no limits and restrictions (no red tape whatsoever). The only thing required is to post a photo post on Thursdays entitled “Thursday’s Special: (your theme/title)” (as explained in my Thursday’s Special introductory post), to provide a link to my Thursday’s Special post, and to leave a link to your post in the comments section of my post. If you like Thursday’s Special widget, feel free to grab it and post it on your blog.

He looks a bit freaky! Great birds though, they keep the rat population under control.

Wow, what an owl Paula! Brilliant photo, I love his eyes, of course, but also the definition your capture shows in his feathers in his upper chest, throat area. I al st feel like I can touch them.
Here’s mine for this week, a bit different than usual, and obviously a bit late!
