Beautiful @corvidae, Paksmala looks so sweet and the eye connection. I like the emotive quality you've captured, plus the way the feathers look, they have a very tactile feeing in the photos. How did that name come about and what's the meaning?

Thank you!
The name is Sanskrit, and means "possessing exquisite eyelashes." It seemed appropriate, since her eye dots remind me of henna art. Paksmala might be male, but I'm betting on female. I think she's only a year and a half old, and is due to find a mate this spring. I'm really hoping she moves in with Lod and Biggie.
That's such a lovely name. I can see why you chose it, based on your photos.
Pretty cool if she settles in like that (yeah, Paksmala looks like a she to me, but what do I know?)
The makeup really throws me off! It's quite feminine. But we're all about ditching gender roles and stereotypes here in Portland.
Hahaha, the make up! Where I live, that doesn't distinguish gender at all in humans. Who cares about gender roles as long as you know who you are!
Agreed!
And that reminds me! I was reading one of your older posts a little while ago and wanted to show you THIS:
Vancouver, BC. Davie Street District.
😂 You took that shot! I kind of like the bright colours of the rainbow crosswalks. Figures it's raining, that's so Vancouver.
I did! Back in.... 2015 I think. It's been raining ever since.
I want to get a team of rebels together and speed-paint a rainbow crosswalk near my house.
