A light sprinkling of an April shower shared the morning. It has been an unusually dry month, it was quite nice to taste the freshness in the air.

This image reminds me of my childhood when my brother and I used to spend the summertimes at our grandparents' place. We ventured through Abruzzo's beautiful environment with no other thought than the next game.

Cambacica (Coereba flaveola) é uma espécie da família Fringillidae, a única do gênero Coereba. Ela mede até 11 cm.Tem o dorso marrom, o peito e o abdome amarelos, o pescoço cinza e a cabeça listrada preta e branca, não apresentando diferenças na plumagem em relação aos machos e fêmeas. No sul do Brasil é chamada de Sebinho.
Distribui-se por todo o Brasil, habitando tanto florestas naturais quanto ambientes urbanos (parques e jardins), tecendo ninhos em forquilhas ou pendurados em pontas de galhos (pendular).
Alimenta-se predominantemente de néctar e de pequenos insetos. Tem o costume de se aproveitar também das garrafas de água com açúcar destinadas a beija-flores. A criação em cativeiro é extremamente difícil.

No flickr Group Roulette today for me. they invade the Freestyle Walking group, a group dedicated to the art of free running. I did attempt a couple of shots, I had the camera set up and on timer so that at the right moment I would run towards the wall at the back of my house that forms an L shape with the garage and run onto one wall then hop onto the next. However I couldn't get the timing right and it looked lame. Plus I couldn't think of a word begining with R that I could associate with it, so instead I got myself a beer from the fridge and decided that we are not all meant to be free runners!

We went to Alsace in France these easters. We were so lucky with the weather, 20-25 in celcius and sun all the time.
