"The hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), or hyacinthine macaw, is a parrot native to central and eastern South America. With a length (from the top of its head to the tip of its long pointed tail) of about one meter it is longer than any other species of parrot. It is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species; the flightless kākāpō of New Zealand outweighs it at up to 3.5 kg." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyacinth_macaw Sunday Challenge: Square format I used Photoshop Elements to replace the blown out white sky with a more interesting one.

This winter, we have had over 8 feet of snow. Ice dams and roof collapses from the snow and cold have occurred so people have been paying roofers $100-$200 per man hour to shovel their roofs. It is very expensive but it is far cheaper that repairing a collapsed roof, and the work on the icy roofs is very dangerous. This man repeatedly slipped and would have fallen off the roof numerous times but for the rope holding him which was tied to a tree on the other side of the house. AIMG 4731
