I saw my first Great blue heron of the year at the bog last night, approrpriate for the first day of spring don't you think! Good for you to take some time off from chores to go birding! Hurrah for your Mom for being brave enough to try an iPad! My Mom is done with her chemo and doing very well. Thank you for your kind comments and encouragement on my blog.

It is hard to name another venue with such brilliant bloggers contributing to it. It is intense, truly like a trip around the world.<br /> I am so inspired that I'm going to hit the road and see whats out there this evening for myself. I'll have lots of time tonight and tomorrow morning to dive back into the blogs and hopefully have about a thousand bird pictures to leaf through this weekend.<br />Wish me luck, gas is expensive for a retired person!<br />DaveSpringmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094132506583563094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-23946026929996148732012-03-21T12:07:30.397-04:002012-03-21T12:07:30.397-04:00Breathtaking images; what an experience!

It is a deep pleasure and treasure to make such a voyage when time allows. Do continue please for many years to come and heartily so... may your retirement bring you nothing but luminous moments in tune and in touch with what you obviously love profoundly.<br /><br />The new header photo is great. They are singing, right ? I think perhaps (I can't be sure because the audio track wasn't working on your photo for some reason) they must have been singing a rendition of that old song from Bad Company, called : "Seagull"...Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-23643157970621075102012-03-20T15:16:05.602-04:002012-03-20T15:16:05.602-04:00Marvelous, marvelous images and the Great Blue Her...Marvelous, marvelous images and the Great Blue Heron, your first ever image taken of it...that is remarkable.
