I teased Plutarch about an image he posted showing his obscured reflection, suggesting it would be nice to see what he looks like. He pointed out that my photo showed a crow head and beak.
...
That got me to thinking that the photo I originally used for my avatar is of a young crow; sleek, shiny, fresh-faced - not at all like the crow I have become. I am aging rapidly. My feathers are thinning on top of my head and I have developed a wattle. My skin, once smooth and supple, is becoming coarse and grainy.
......
The former photo is a fraud. Above is a more accurate representation of my Crow appearance today.
