Linda, you are astounding. Everything you do or say is positive. You just don’t know how to be negative. I’m a fan.
As far as these photos, I love the first and original, but the bird version would be perfect for the FB thing. I do think the bird flock needs loosening up, tho.

You're very kind, Ron, but just yesterday I exhibited a bit of grumpiness in a main forum topic

Two of the un-birds have been erased per an earlier suggestion and the flock is happier. Many thanks for your support and your terrific comments. So glad you enjoyed the photo.

One of my favorite images of yours. Simple, but a beautiful sunrise over water.

Many thanks, Janos. The dark line you see is a distant treeless ridge. Yakima is in kind of a bowl

I'm very pleased you enjoyed!

I had to Google your quote and I still don't recognize it. Amazing

Thank you very much for your time and interest, Tommy. I'm pleased you like it!

The song is, appropriately enough, "And Your Bird Can Sing"

A fabulously moody image!
Perhaps a single solitary bird of the right size, placed in the right position in the empty golden sky, might have enhanced the nostalgia of the scene. But in my opinion, more than that could be perceived as disturbing the beautiful, calm and tranquil, atmosphere. Others might disagree, but it always comes down to personal taste. Anyway, the photo is truly marvelous. I love it . . . .

It is late, been a long day and I just found this, so glad I did It is a beautiful way to end the day. For me it is the fineness of the winter into spring tree. You two had a great morning. I would never eighty-six a bird!

Thanks so much, Phil. Delighted you found us. Only a couple of birds were gently re-homed in the final version
