I may have some rushed posts the next few days… I have company in my Indian room, and so my usual late night, hour long, detailed posts will have to be condensed! For tonight… a close-up of one of my chickens provided me with… ME! My silhouette appears in her eye… an unknowing self-portrait at…

Felt Your Own Mittens
