Nice pic but those are not blades of grass but fairly substantial plant leaves.

That is a great picture of a bird that would look nice framed and in anyone's home. But, there still is a question. Is the forum "going to the birds"? It seems to be very light (as a bird's wing) in content lately. There seems to be a PURPOSEFUL dumbing down of forum subjects lately! Nothing serious to talk about recently? I thought there was a world at war going on. And an election that may determine American freedom or not upcoming. Even Trevor Noah at the Correspondent's Dinner would be more informative as a forum discussion than pictures of birds and alligators. There is not much to say about pictures of pretty birds......like duh......dat's one purdy birdy.....y'all
........that doesn't touch or educate or give any understanding to the IMPORTANT issues of the day! Meaning that it renders a forum to be USELESS as a forum.
.........unless you create a subforum titled .......the dumbed-down forum of the dumbed-down Village
.........adults will stop reading comic books meant for 3 rd graders. and the same goes for a bland and boring forum
.........TV Land already has a paper that is only good for reading the TV schedule for sports and the comics.
........do we now need a forum like the Daily Sun?.......we could call them both the Daily Sunburn.....about as useful
