It’s early in the morning. I looked quickly at the title of this entry and saw “cocktail sleeping”. Hmmm…I said. I looked and looked at photo but couldn’t make out what it was. I thought it was fur but still not sure. I got my glasses. Looked and looked. Still no recognizable form to these eyes. Then, I reread your title. “Oh, “cockatiel”!!! Then, I looked back confident…I still don’t “see” it.
It’s like one of this figure/ground tests and I flunked.
Fuji – No problem. Just use the original link for the photo.
Pat – lol. The main reason I like this photo is because she does seem to blend into the “landscape” of her cage. She’s actually sitting/sleeping on an infertile egg (trying so desperately to be a mommy). Just look at the center of the photo and focus on the bright patch of sunlight. Her beak is resting against the floor of her cage. You can see her eye, just barely open.
Meg – lol. Just after I took this shot, she charged me. Ever the dutiful mother.
wow you have great shots!
can i link yours to my blog??
