I had to come here to see this wonderful photo again. It is so unusual and remarkably beautiful, Susan! You have a true artist's eye for capturing the essence of a scene.

Those fanning wings ... so so lovely. I am trying to get more action into my bird shots. The one I posted today is a male King Parrot. They have a lovely high pitched whistle when perched and a less pleasant "carrack" sound when on the wing.

My soul spreads wide open when I see happyness like this on your blog. It's almost like the manual I asked for to build my wings.
So wonderful to see things all fall together like a jigsaw.
God is here through you for me.
Thank you my friend. I know you have troubles too with your health so I must stop feeling sorry for only me.
Hugs to you and happy sunday right back at ya.
Dagmar
