Son of Suffolk,
iPhone snapper, leisurely cyclist, watcher of wildlife & drinker of beer.
Still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.
Occasionally foreswunk.
Not so much mainstream, more ox-bow lake.
Not entirely serious.
Life huh?

Wonderful sight!
Stork in the trees.
Don't often get them around here. So graceful. Even while just standing still they have such poise. & they move across the sky so slowly. Ace to see any bird in the wild, but, a Stork is really rather special.
Oh, wait.
That's a crane.

Greed is a form of mental illness. If you have everything you NEED but aren't happy with it, then you'll never be happy, however much more you acquire.
