   The shape of the bird replicates the shape of the clouds.

   What bird is that?

   The wingspan to body length ratio is crazy.

   Cloud patterns are fascinating. I have to walk an hour or so per day. Looking at clouds is a daily thing now. I like walking at twilight.

   Left step normal, right step CLOMP. It’s slowly getting better. I can roll my foot a bit and push off with the ball of the right foot now to a small degree.

   Walking and looking at stuff has made me a better person.

   Looks like it might be an albatross.

   @Mu Yixiao:

   Are there albatrosses in Alabama?

   I would guess some take on hawk.

   Montgomery is well off the coast. I could very well be wrong.

   Initially, I sometimes struggle with New Zealand and Boer white South African.

   The tonal profile is quite similar. There are contextual clues. Kiwis are the Canadians of the South Pacific; polite as can be. Even Zoe Bell, perhaps the most bad-ass woman alive, is actively polite.

   I can usually figure it out in a few sentences.

   One woman did baffle me; she was a white woman from Tanzania: country girl not city. The way she pronounced was really intriguing.

   Sorry!

   Wrong thread. Meant for Open Thread.

   I apogize.

   Umm…. I thought AL stood for Aleutian Islands? [looks innocent].

   I completely missed the caption.

    I saw this first thing after it posted. I liked it (it evoked a feeling in me), but I didn’t think it was a very good pic and I couldn’t say why. So I said nothing. I still can’t. The best I can say is, it tells no story. Sorry Steven. I wish I had something more constructive to say.

    @de stijl: I am terrible at bird identification, so I am not sure.

    Glad to hear that the foot is getting a little better, at least.
