A horrible, cold day with biting winds and a mixture of rain, hail, sleet and further north, more snow, has got me thinking of summer days!  What really tells me summer has arrived is the arrival of the migrating Swallows - hence, dreaming of Summer and Swallows!  :D

Just a photo of a little Swallow, with a touch of Flaming Pear colour filters and light enhancers - it helped to pass a little of a dark day over here!

Like the iridescence and matching BG colors. Perhaps lighten the face?

Thanks Jerry, I'm glad you picked up on that because I thought exactly the same after I had posted it!  :D

Lovely bit of work Carol -- I like the glow. I'm beginning to feel the effect of cabin fever here. I just finished chipping an inch of ice off my steep driveway yesterday, and now we may get several inches of snow tomorrow night. For the past week hi temps been about 20F below normal -- enough already!

Awww- sweet expression. Love the glow-maybe it will evoke spring! It's already minus 9 here at 10 PM tonight!

If you can take images like that on a dark day....I like the iridescence and mauves.Spring will be slow in arriving here this year after a harsh winter.
