pink hair with birds

A while back  Violette started a 101 self portrait challenge.
 Mine have been in progress for a few years.
Actually on # 92 now.
My private blog of self portraits will open up after all 101 are complete.
Posting this one for Inspiration Avenue self portrait challenge.
It was a spring day much like today,
 we were cleaning out the bird cage. 
Nana and Blue were flying around the house.
We ran to make sure all of the doors and windows were closed.
"Shut the front door."
Sitting down to rest,
they both landed on me.
A self portrait worthy moment.
Pink hair with birds.
