Weekly Photo Challenge: Resilient

Location: Bygdøy Peninsula, Oslo, Norway
While wandering around near the Fram Museum, I spotted a seabird standing on one leg.
"What a show off!" I muttered to myself. Then I noticed that the other leg was injured, so I had to eat my words.
The next thing I knew, he flew from his perch and I caught him on camera attempting to land on the boardwalk. As I recorded it for posterity, it made me grimace. It wasn’t clean. But he made it.
Feathers no longer unruffled, I noticed a smirk on his face. “Look at me now,” he seemed to be saying.
If there was something he taught me, it was resilience against all odds.

it’s weird. wordpress can be unpredictible sometimes. as for the contact form, the theme that i’m using right now doesn’t support it. i wonder if it’s time for a change. 🙂

You have been here for longer so i assume you know better. But check menu options again maybe it is there. I dont know that much to be honest.

When you go to customise your theme. In menu settings it gives you option to manually add menu items in main menu. Mine was there.
