Why did you do that, Heather? I didn't want to get so worked up this early in the morning. Now that's voluptuous.

ROFL! I remember this guy (gal?) Very nicely done.

And if Sandy's going to try to hug him (her?) again, I just want fair warning so I can catch a shot of that. :) :)

Does anyone know is "he" a male or female?

Sweet image! I've got an image of this bird, just not nearly as nice. Excellent composition with the 'S' curve. :D

Rich, In reality Sandy does not care at all, A hug and a few kisses is all he wants, but he will be hard pressed is he tries to climb!!!! :wink: , Then again, he is daring enough to try!!!! :P

Very sweet! How come you couldn't get him to turn his head a little :wink:

Seriously this is very nice and great light.

Congrats on a great site and thanks for all the hard work, get some sleep now :)

Heather---this is one of my favorites of yours for the very subtle gradations of color and tone. The composition is divine.
