March 1st has a positive sound to me. It is very cold but sunny here. This chickadee doesn't seem to care as long as he gets his seed.

Duck weather!

I had some pics already in the camera when I shot the fly.
This yellow tropical hibiscus doesn't bloom as much as the double pink but it sure is pretty.

This was photographed for a fun food comp. When I saw that the theme was going to be food I knew what I wanted to do, and executing the idea was fun! my original thougbt was to do an overhead shot, the traditional macro but then I had an idea....

And this is a detail on a Jam Tart my 4 year old daughter (nearly 5!) made-she's crazy about butterflies!

Hi there Bebop, nice to meet you, and your pic here would be the very first time
I have seen a chickadee, and just like my little finches, I could sit and watch them
for hours. Thanks.
