This morning

I didn’t feel like getting up early this morning, but I had two groups of tourists at the Roque, so needs must. And the drive up was all sparkly with dew and early sunlight.

I finished work at 1 pm, and went up to the viewpoint right at the top in hopes of meeting my friend Carmelo, the raven for a chat. He wasn’t there, but another raven was (I recognise Carmelo his ankle bracelet) so I opened up the little pot of cat food I’d brought.
And the cheeky blighter flew off with the whole thing!
Bit it was worth it for the laugh.
