it's quite a quiet smile, this, or it was for me anyway - last night around 6.30 I went into the garden and the birds were all singing their heads off. Dawn chorus? Just try a dusk chorus! I walked to the front of the house which faces west and saw the sunset (albeit behind houses) and more birds singing loudly. And then I managed to capture this little chap on camera, and I smile whenever I look at it:

So many things to smile at this morning:

@Lyudmila: the miniatures are awesome.
@Mabel: A perfectly wonderful photo of a perfectly beautiful dusk.
Thank you all.

Replace Jackson with Rosey and that works perfect. There is a special look in her eyes when I say "No". I think she takes my "no" as a dare.fccs wrote: Sat Mar 20, 2021 10:28 pm Jackson knows the meaning of the word “no” but he chooses to ignore it most of the time. Cats!!

Lyudmila, that is simply astounding. How is it possible? OK, I do know intellectually, but knowing how it can be done is not the same as having the muscle control needed. Simply amazing.

I love blackbirds, and I suspect that if I had a totemic animal, that bird would be it. Their evening song is the most beautiful sound; a lovely note to the end of the day.Mabel Figworthy wrote: Sun Mar 21, 2021 1:08 pm it's quite a quiet smile, this, or it was for me anyway - last night around 6.30 I went into the garden and the birds were all singing their heads off.

Well I think that this one should please.

We have the usual birds feeding in our front garden and yesterday we saw a Yellowhammer and a pair of Wagtails.

Serinde, the bird in the picture is I think a robin - he certainly sounded like one, and I think he's the wrong shape for a blackbird. There was one of those singing away on a nearby TV aerial!

And you don't even need to be a cat to enjoy it...!

Fair enough. Robins also stay up relatively late.Mabel Figworthy wrote: Mon Mar 22, 2021 10:38 am Serinde, the bird in the picture is I think a robin - he certainly sounded like one, and I think he's the wrong shape for a blackbird. There was one of those singing away on a nearby TV aerial!

The smile for Today is one that fortunately happens less often than it did:

Did see that one yesterday, Wendy. Love it.
Now, in the fact it's not cats, I'm breaking the mould a little:
