FRIDAY'S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS - Costa Rica

I am linking with Fridays’ Hunt and Weekend Reflections and today the letter is M, Cloth and Every Day Things.  For M I am showing a beautiful little bird I saw in a small pool of water where it had come down in the late afternoon to bath in Costa Rica.  
Look at his yellow leggings!
It is the Red –capped MANAKIN. There is a video  of it below.

So this image below covers REFLECTIONS, M for MOI, MIRROR and MATTRESS and on the bed is a CLOTH cover and of course my clothes are made of CLOTH.  All of the things you see in this bedroom are EVERY DAY THINGS, like the bed, lamp, painting, bed and carpet.

This was taken in my first bedroom that I stayed at in Costa Rica.

GOOD FENCES

Last Thursday I showed you some ‘fences’ from Glenarm Castle’s Walled Garden and today I am showing you some more.  I have never seen so many hedges in one place and it must take ages to keep them trimmed.

THROUGH MY LENS

 It was a very dull day on Strangford Lough and the birds were all quite a distance away, hence the quality of the photographs.  They are Ringed Plover,

Turnstone, Redshank, Lesser Black backed Gull, the first Pale  - bellied Brent that I saw arriving from the Artic Canada, Oystercatcher and finally a Curlew.

I am linking with Through My Lens.  

Tomorrow i have a few more birds to show you
