Having a break from inhaling epoxy filler dust after hours of sanding, fairing, sanding, sighing and further sanding (I think you've got the picture), I usually filter off and enjoy the naturalistic walks that are at our doorstep.

| A Single Flamingo |
Aquatic birds adorn the salt flats that dominate a large area of the Natural Park that makes up the Ria Formosa. So while trekking once again with my hound and my heels, I came to quite an abrupt stop, upon sighting a flamingo. They are such noble birds, you simply have to stop and watch their wonder. I was surprised to find that there was only one, wading through the water, sifting through the silt, with its specially adapted beak.

Now I thought flamingos were social birds, living in small colonies, numbering up to hundreds at a time, if not thousands. To my amazement another bird came into view and at first I thought its mate. At a closer inspection I realized that the flamingos eating buddy was a stork! It was beautiful to see the two species interacting metres from each other, in calm and peace. Us humans could learn a lesson or two from these beauties!
