How cute. I can see the bird resemblence in the first and third pictures on your blog. In the third picture it looks like it's coming in to land on the plant.

Thanks, Rosie. I thought I had a better imagination, but I can't see the resemblance at all in this case.

For a few momments after reading about the bird resemblence I couldn't see it, then suddenly like something clicked and now I can't avoid seeing it as a cute little bird. The top front edge is the little beak and head, the turnd down lower edge is like the brest and the rest is the body. No wings of course, but definately resembles a bird in my eyes.

I guess I can see it, but perhaps I ought to stare at it for several hours. Might turn into a bird if I do that.
