As many of you know I am an early riser, although don’t think I have ever heard a lark join in with the dawn chorus. It also wasn’t dawn when I took this shot of a lark a year or two ago, however I just had to use this title for today’s SquareUp!
My apologies for not visiting squares or replying to comments yesterday. Not only was I awake before dawn, but I was on the telephone/Zoom nearly all day and kind of ran out of screen time energy. I promise will catch up today with everyone, but for now here’s a Crested Lark singing away in Portugal. Not at dawn but at 5:00 in the evening.

That lark sounds wonderful … goes well with my snoring pugs. LOL
Here is my entry for the day.

I’ve always heard the phrase but never actually knew what a lark looked like, so thanks for that. I know how those days go, although my busy isn’t a paid job but just things that need to be done here or for my parents. My photo is of something up early as well or so it seemed to me:

odd isn’t it, how the phrase has come about. I wonder if they confused blackbirds with larks!
