Visiting my aunt in Central Oregon because my uncle passed last week. It’s been a very hard very weird trip emotionally. One of the upsides is I’m definitely gonna get the bird of the day.

Took my friend’s NYC Sonny Angel on our trip to visit friends in Manhattan. It’s fun being whimsical and having free will. Here’s day 1. #travel #nyc #SonnyAngels
Blurry Sonny Angel figurine in a top hat in the foreground. Manhattan skyline under an airplane wing in the background. Sonny Angel figurine in a top hat and black T shirt out to dinner next to a glass of wine, face aglow in candlelight. Sonny Angel figurine standing in front of a fluffy white and brown cat looking at him hungrily. Perhaps feeling nervous, the cat is huge. Sonny Angel’s first slice of Sicilian style pizza. The figurine is standing in front of a plate of mostly eaten pizza, a patterned table cloth beneath his feet

Bird thoughts: I haven’t seen as many birds in London as I wanted to. So far this guy is my favorite though. And he has a beautiful song. #birdsky
