Personal memory by Mary Vargas
2018 • Caracas, Distrito Capital, Venezuela
I live my whole life in Caracas, Venezuela. And since I'm kid I always loved the birds and the nature in my city (and my whole country), but in Caracas we have different and beautiful types of birds, one of the birds very seen and known in our country is "La Guacamaya", it is always flying around the buildings and when its about to get dark they return home together. Every day in the window of my apartment, before dark, these beautiful birds stop and my family and I give them seeds to eat. All our city is full of these beautiful birds that give color and joy to our sky and day to day.
