String Still Life


Now all I have to do is tell my roadie to change the strings…
Wait, I haven’t got a roadie! I guess I’ll have to do it myself then :-).

Mystery Bird


This is not a good photo at all, but one of the few that might be useful for an identification – does anyone have an idea what this bird might be? It sat not far from us above in the wine branches between the balconies and for a long time was surprisingly calm before it flew off. It might be a juvenile blackbird, but I’m not sure about it because they are usually much more shy and easily startled.

not to be confused with the sunflower-like Rudbeckia hirta.
