Blue Monday

As I sat on my upturned bucket down the field watching Ollie dog playing with her ball I heard our friendly robin singing. It had chosen to perch directly above me. How beautifully blue the sky was today.

I am feeling blue about our cormorant. It was perched in the tree on the bank of the lake as usual this morning and I was thinking how lovely it will be to photograph it when the cherry blooms. When I looked at my pics on screen I thought I could see a strand of saliva coming from its beak. On closer inspection I think it is a piece if fishing line. :( I'm hoping against hope that I'm wrong.(Extras)
