for these incredible images. Beauty in nature is all around all the time, but I rarely stop to notice.
Your posts present that beauty right in my face (in a good way) and insist that I notice.
I'm very grateful and though I'm not a birder, I'm going to hang out here. 
Spangled Coquette
Above and below me hovers the beautiful
I am surrounded by it
I am immersed in it
The mountains, I become part of it
The herbs, the fir tree, I become part of it.
The morning mists, the clouds, the gathering waters,
I become part of it.
The wilderness, the dew drops, the pollen
I become part of it.

I've read your stuff. We share many sentiments, but you express them so well.
I notice our avatars are similar, hmmm, funny that. Probably just a coincidence.
Also you post these images with attribution, shows respect for the creators.
It's these little things lead me to believe you're a pretty decent dude/dudette ...whatever
