Cairo, Egypt

Who needs to join a gym? I spent three hours walking and doing stairs today just getting to and from my classes, and every muscle below the hips is telling me I earned that brownie I had with lunch!

From Springtime in the New Egypt

All that walking is not without its little joys, though. Along the way, I saw this bird in my usual birdwatching spot. I’ve never seen one like it before. I love the colors. A little research leaves me guessing that it’s a White-Throated Kingfisher.
