Equally attractive, but I have to say I like the blue gray head on yours :) Our politics seem to go from bad to worse ... no hope of change. The Republicans a trying to pass a bill that will throw 23 million people off medical insurance while giving billionaires a huge tax break and that is just for starters. Australia is looking better every day :)Be well and appreciate what you have ... and fight for what you don't have :)<br /><br />Andrea @ From The Sol Andrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-3929592907889662252017-06-14T18:42:50.006+10:002017-06-14T18:42:50.006+10:00Fascinating birds with a great shovelling beak :-)...Fascinating birds with a great shovelling beak :-) Love the reflections.
