another needlepoint

I received this needlepoint from my friend Kay, few years ago. I started to work on it last year.The title of this design is" The Angelus". Years ago when one heard the church bells ringing at twelve, specially in the country ones stop doing their works and prayed. When my sister was in a convent ,and I visited her in the summer, we always prayed at twelve noon (Angelus time).

my cockatiel

here is another picture of my cockatiel. I manage to take one a bit closer this time. He knew I was trying to take a photo of him and he kept going back and forth. I fooled him a bit , I pretend to look somewhere else while talking to him and as he stood still ,I snap and voila a very good picture of him.
