“Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.”
― Jim Butcher, Vignette

Mr or Mrs Stork?
It’s a free week at Monochrome Madness, i.e. no given theme. I decided to show a few of the storks living around here during summer (I think one of them is here permanently).
I can’t tell whether these storks are male or female. I am not alone in that, there is even a children’s song:
What is prancing through our meadow?
The frock is black and white, the stockings red.
It catches frogs, snap, snap, snap.
And it goes clap, clap, clap.
Will you guess who this is?
You think it’s the long leg stork prancing through our meadow?
The frock is black and white, the stockings red.
It catches frogs, snap, snap, snap.
And it goes clap, clap, clap.
No, no, it’s Mrs Stork!
