#BirdOfTheDay theme today is Long Neck.

Here's some chaos for Tuesday - Greater Flamingo, Intermediate Egret and a Little Cormorant!

#Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyMonday

p.s. want this as a sticker? www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Ku...
in the background, an intermediate egret (white bird with long neck) looking towards the madness in front, where it looks like a flying little cormorant (black bird) has resulted in the greater fflamingo to lost track of what it was trying to do and its legs are moving randomly. (the flamingo is a varying shade of black brown and white with very big beak)

Made the chocolate mousse last night and it's been chilling in the fridge.

I have just finished baking the layers, and they look goooood 😍

They will be chilled, and that's going to take some time. The next step is making the chocolat frosting!

#chocolatecake 🍜
Three round, silver, cake tins inside the oven cavity, containing freshly baked chocolate cake sponge, bathed in warm light. The tins are resting on a silver oven tray.

Another rejection makes my way... so plan for the next week is to polish 4 stories and send them to new magazines.

And for the rejected one, need to find a new magazine as well.

Got the first rejection of October, but they offered an alternative submission route for the story (and an option for simultaneous submission) - gonna look at the sheet and sort this tomorrow.

Meanwhile 2 new stories worked on in last 2 days.
