Nidifugous

NIDIFUGOUS

-adj.
Leaving the nest soon after hatching






















Distracted?
My thoughts are nidifugous
And often devoured
By lurking predators

What a wonderful word, Nathalie. It's completely new to me and your take on it is memorable. Those predators seem to lurk everywhere and ever closer!

Fabulous word. Is this a self portrait? It's even more fabulous!
