I just love your photos! They're really wonderful! Maybe some day you could put on an exhibit at a rec center.

Alemorkam, I am also a big fan.
I often see Villages photographs in the Online Newspaper.
Are some of those pictures contributed by you?

We have a nesting couple in our little birdhouse mounted on a downspout outside the lanai. We can sit in the living room and watch them going in and out. Yesterday I stood quietly beside it and can hear the babies chirping. Mama has been busy bringing worms and grubs for their dinner!

Thanks for still another great shot. It is a rare and special treat to see an Eastern Bluebird here in NJ these days.

By jove . . . You've done it again!

What kind of camera/lens do you have?
Do you sleep with your camera???
You always seem to be at the right place at the right time!

In the beginning blue birds were plentiful in America but then alas the Pilgrims arrived and carried with them sparrows. Sparrows drove the bluebirds of paradise almost to extinction ....Honest
