    It always amazes me how our wildlife copes with the dreadful weather conditions we get. I certainly wouldn't be hanging by my feet to an icicle that's for sure!! :eek:
    What a lovely shot of your gold Finch Naturenanni. I hope he has a nice, warm place to heat those tiny toes of his up.

    Your photos constantly amaze me! First, you see things with a photographer's eye, and then you actually get the picture!
    Have you thought of publishing a book of your photos? I think it would be delightful to go through such a book on a dreary winter day and see all the colorful and beautiful birds. Perhaps you and Frank could team up and do a bird book for children. What a delightful way to introduce children to bird-watching!
