The second half of life..

By twigs

Bitten off more than he could chew??

Last 'official' day at school - continue the tidy up, clear out, move.  Lots of 'stuff' thrown away.  Lunch and farewells - always a bitter-sweet time.  

Home to my garden and this chap sitting on the fence.  He stayed there long enough for me to duck into the house, get my camera, change lenses and shoot quite a few shots.  Didn't seem overly perturbed by my presence......I wondered whether he had literally bitten off more than he could chew......whether his beak was stuck fast in the fruit he had found......whether he was nervous about taking flight lest the extra weight on his beak plunged him back to earth.......or whether his beakful of sweetness had rendered him dizzy with the euphoria of expectation.

I prefer to think it was the latter :)  

Just like the holidays really!
