The fairies have been out with their paint brushes

Max had the grumps today - he walks about 50 feet behind me as if he doesn't want to be known as my companion or isn't quite sure who I am but had better follow just in case. The wind has been violent again all day - perhaps that's what riles him. The fan palm leaves on their saw toothed branches have been rattling and thrashing away all day and the debris in the pool collects in a corner and then gets swirled away to another place by the contrary wind.

Have just seen my lesser kestrel yesterday hit the spotlight page - bless for all the hearts and stars and lovely comments
