Ibis

 

I don't know why but the late afternoon shadows made me smile. I which I'd got the beak in shadow too. It was like a mirror world had seeped into mine. Even the shrubs were completed in shadow form and the pole extended...

The Ibis took off too quickly for me to capture it coming at me.

“What men call the shadow of the body is not the shadow of the body, but is the body of the soul.”
― Oscar Wilde, A House of Pomegranates
