[While I'm doing the nanny/granny job in Philadelphia, I'm attempting to keep up my "Still Life with Robin" column on Saturdays -- but just barely. No longer writing my own stuff, I'm now mainly reposting random stuff I've found on the internet. At least I haven't stooped to posting funny cat videos...yet!]
Here are the top five things I saw this week:
1. Today is World Penguin Day. Spend a bit of time today watching and learning about these amazing birds!

They're also pretty funny! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAT4Xzhre4Y
2. Dick Van Dyke turned 100 years old a few months ago and is no longer allowed to play with LEGOs.
3. If anyone ever snaps a good shot of a rainbow in our area, you'll be sure to find it on Capital Weather Gang

Just want a bit of a lift anytime? Go to Capital Weather Gang's social media feed and look for the latest photos of our sunrises, sunsets, or just everyday DC scenes.
This was the featured photo this morning:

Cooler today. Highs 60-65, wind off ocean plus showers becoming likely. Most of the rain this afternoon/evening. More than half an inch possible. Cooler Sunday. Near 70 to open the workweek, beyond. More rain by Tuesday. Details: http://cwg.live
4. DC can be stunning every season of the year, but if you were in Sydney yesterday, you would have had this view of the iconic Sydney Opera House, lit up to celebrate Gustav Klimt:

The Sydney Opera House illuminated with Gustav Klimt's The Tree of Life.
5. And last, but for me, a perennial favorite..... I always look for ROBIN photos on the internet (betcha can't guess why???)
This is a small but affecting little pic from This Is My Glasgow @is_glasgow:
This little one spent most of the morning following me around as I tidied up my garden, and pouncing on all the little creatures I accidently disturbed.
