The Thread
"A thread" she stated, then disclosed
the worried rift within the prose.
Within the fray was pulled a thread
the question now, is where it led.
What's in her mind and up her sleeve?
He starts to bob, and she to weave.
The gate way's breached, she pulls a stride,
a virtual moment turns the tide.
The die is cast, escape gone by,
A web of thread done on the fly.
A willing victim to what was done?
Do you "mind control"?, "Are you having fun?"

Airone cenerino: Ardea cinerea. En.: Grey Heron.
The Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea), is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in the milder south and west, but many birds retreat in winter from the ice in colder regions. It has become common in summer even inside the Arctic circle along the Norwegian coast.
It is a large bird, standing 90–100 cm tall, with a 175–195 cm wingspan and a weight of 1–2 kg. Its plumage is largely grey above, and off-white below. Adults have a white head with a broad black supercilium and slender crest, while immatures have a dull grey head. It has a powerful, pinkish-yellow bill, which is brighter in breeding adults. It has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes and spoonbills, which extend their necks. The call is a loud croaking "fraaank". The Australian White-faced Heron is often incorrectly called Grey Heron. In Ireland the grey heron is often colloquially called " crane ".
It feeds in shallow water, catching fish, frogs, and insects with its long bill. Herons will also take small mammals, reptiles and occasionally warbler nestlings, plovers, young and adult snipes, takes ducklings and tern chicks and other small birds. It will often wait motionless for prey, or slowly stalk its victim.
In the Netherlands, the Grey Heron has become a very common species in recent decades by moving into urban environments in great numbers. There, the herons hunt as they usually would but also make use of food discarded by humans, will visit feeding times in zoos to birds such as penguins and pelicans and some individuals even make use of people feeding them at their homes. Similar behaviour on a smaller scale has been reported in Ireland.
I was always very well behaved as a child and never asked for anything, I think that's why the following story has become almost legendary in our family! LOL
When I was 2 and we were on holiday I saw a doll buggy in a toy shop. It was a miniture replica of my own and I really wanted it tobe like my mum & push my baby doll around in. My parents were so surprised when I threw a tantrum (my only one ever) in the shop because I wanted the buggy so badly. They didn't give in to my tantrum then, but at the end of the week they did go back to the store & buy it for me. I didn't have any photos of the tantrum but this one was taken on that holiday. I've added the date & journaling in pen now that the details have been double checked with my parents.
Unfortunately I missed a shot of a green woodpecker about 4m behind me (it flew off when I turned) but I was fascinated by this fella. He eventually shot into the undergrowth - nesting material perhaps?
These crows are always up to something, but I have no idea what. Sometimes in the summer I see many of them laying with their wings spread on the ground. I hope to figure out why one of these days!
