Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many—not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

ReplyDeleteHi Gail,
ReplyDeleteLove these! Great reflections!
Beautiful serie !
ReplyDeleteGail, I get my wild bird seed from amazon. I am a prime member, so I pay no shipping costs, however, my state now charges some task. I get the 20lb Heath mix and the 10lb nutty mix..also Heath brand. Birds like the nutty mix best, but so do the squirrels.
ReplyDeleteTaxes. And the nutty bag is Kaytee. Dianne
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing bird.
ReplyDeleteYour reflection photos are amazing!! Happy New Year and I so look forward to seeing more of your photos!
ReplyDeleteOh Gail...hope you get a chance to find it, AND photograph the booby!!!!!! I look forward to hearing from you about your venture!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous reflections, and I love the softness of the brown landscape.
ReplyDeleteGail what a glorious post and pictures...certainly makes one pause to reflect.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures - as as the ones in the post before.
ReplyDeleteOne persons flaws are another persons points of interest - but both see the same thing.
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Beautiful photographs!

Egrets are always a fascinating bird to watch when we travel to Florida. Some seem to show a personality too.
