This was not the post I had planned for today, but then this European White Stork suddenly poked his head up as I was out walking and made me smile!
My original seventh square is now over on my Portuguese blog, it is also a Monday portrait and you can visit it here. If you are wondering why I am talking about a seventh square then clearly you have not yet joined in the fun of the Squares Challenge this month. Do join us, we are looking for square photographs whose subject matter is;
- Differing from the usual or not happening often (ie oddballs, the exceptions and follies)
- Separated from its set or mate (eg odds and ends or maybe odd socks or shoes)
- Not divisible exactly by two (ie odd numbers) or the number is unknown (ie 70 odd birds)
It is a month to have fun exploring oddness and discovering oddities so why not invite some of your blogging friends to also join us. Here’s the challenge image to share, and you are more than welcome to link to other challenges as well.

Peek-a-boo! It actually looks quite fake! Realised that although my links to you do work it appears that the actual pingback doesn’t so I am going to have to edit them. Still you do appear to have seen today’s visit to the zoo.

You might have got them as the links actually worked, but I didn’t see them on your posts.

I wonder if yours are going live before mine are so I get pingback notifications but then they don’t appear in the posts?

perfect timing but just adds to the mystery then as they should have been linking. Very odd!!!

I know I was thinking the same but then it moved!! I think the heat haze is helping to suggest it isn’t quite real
