Love this amusing painting on the wall, in a very quiet back street that hardly anyone goes down. I don't do much in colour, but this just wouldn't look good in B&W. Eagle Lane, Brisbane CBD, Queensland Australia.

My new favorite dog design. From "Lady and the Tramp". It took me awhile to make it right. Mainly it's the fluffy fur. I ended up just making it wide. The large floppy ears were difficult. The nose is a little shorter than I would have liked. It's not as bad as in this photo because of the angle. Unfortunately, other angle shots were blurry. The height and length is good. All around details are great. Funny thing was, when I was looking up the breed, I used the name Cockle Daniel. It didn't get me anywhere. I had to look up "Lady and the Tramp" movie to find out the spelling. Even then it wasn't easy. Really, the over information age is trash. Accurate and precise information is non-existent. People don't label their photos.
I've been baking.
This WAS supposed to be a spring chicken cake for the table at my mother's drinks party
However it appears a little long in the tooth to be the focus of an Easter tableaux.
(I know how it feels. I tried on a frock last week and thought 'mutton')
Ah well, happy Easter to you all.
The name Linnet comes from the Old French name Linette which means small bird of the flax (Linum). It was first used in Britain around 1530 but was a name for any small finch. It was John Ray in 1678 who first distinguished that Linnet, Redpoll and Twite were different species. But he called this one Common Linnet, as opposed to Mountain Linnet (Twite). The "Common" was dropped soon after that and it has been known as Linnet ever since. Its scientific name cannabina also refers to its association with arable crops as cannabis used to be grown for its hemp fibres. And hemp seeds still turn up in bird seed mixes and occasionally results in cannabis plants growing under garden bird tables.
This male is identified by the pink flush on his breast and forehead. He is perched on a gorse bush which is a typical nesting site for Linnet. This was in West Yorkshire.
