The Song Of A Bird
Personal memory by Lorlly Varela
2018 • San Antonio de Los Altos, Miranda, Venezuela
Back in my childhood, I remember getting up every day around 5 in the morning because of the peculiar song of the bird called " Chachalaca". I used to get really annoyed by their song because it was really loud and it wasn't even beautiful. But now, that I am far away from that place, I realize how much I miss it, I guess that we don't realize how these little things become part of your routine until we don't have them anymore.
