It’s a beautiful sunny Saturday morning and the first thing that came to mind—let’s hit the pool! Two more days before all the screaming come to and end (well, the kids don’t really scream or howl for that matter but every minute they’re not in school, they’re IN YOUR FACE!). Leaving the house, taking a [...]

These are not the sort of Hornbill photos I had in mind when I decided to feature them here.
