It had its back to me, but am pretty sure this is a goldfinch having a rest. There was a very strong wind blowing. I am in awe of these wee things facing the ferocity!

...now, the eagle-eyed may think that YAMster's losing it, for now, she has missed an entire letter of the alphabet. However, those who know about avoiding the letter 'i' is done by motor registration admins and other areas where an 'i' can be confused for other letters or even the number one will appreciate this skip. I would also add that the very first year here was letter-less and if I am to stick to a 26-year plan, then a letter does need to be dropped - and 'i' is the most obvious. So, welcome to the "J" year!

TAKE 9TH BLOGIVERSARY RE-RUNS - EIGHT

It's iconic, right? This is an Eastern Grey Kanga. A nice way to mark the end of the "g" year here at MY TAKE.

And a week past Sunday you saw the end of the "h" year, with it's mysteriously shortened days due to a mental aberration of the blogger last August. Now we are back at the official end of this blog's year and tomorrow we start again...

This spiral stair case is under the dome of Queen Victoria Building, Sydney city centre. The place was built in 1898 and was originally offices and market stores... now it is 'up market' with designer shops and galleries and eateries.

SUNdays


Sunset over Loch Fyne.



















NOW - a conundrum arose. This blog's anniversary ought to fall on the 15th. This year will be the ninth. We seem to be a week early... after a trawl of the past year's posts, I discover there was an error in August where I managed to drop a week's worth of numbers!!! Sigh... Too far back to correct. Not to fret - for the eight days between now and 15th I shall mark the anniversary with a re-run of the eight images that completed the previous eight years of blogging at MY TAKE.

Someone mentioned last week that the Jackdaw couple might be bemoaning the mischief of their offspring... could be true - that's last year's youngster down behind - still at home and always wanting attention!
