Despite the the cliches of new starts, new year resolutions etc this is a new beginning, numerically at least, and we humans like new starts, maybe echoing our deep need for salvation, for reaching beyond our petty turmoils to something better, richer, more joyful.
Mm, these pairs of heads don't look joyful; maybe they need to make a resolution to start communicating! The weaver finch nest at the top shows hope, at least; these medium-sized yellow birds, resembling Yellowhammers, perform graceful aerobatics as they weave flexible green grass into their nest, suspended safely out of reach of predators (dogs, rats?) ready for their eggs to be laid next month while the rains are still providing plenty of insects for the hungry fledglings.
Back to Chilanga tomorrow; back to work...now, my resolution?
