Shot these a few days back. The light was dismal, it was misting on and off, and not the activity I was hoping for -- but still Thankful for these.

Greg, your shots with white backgrounds worked out well. They remind me of paintings by John James Audubon.

Thanks, Tony.
It's funny you mentioned Audubon's paintings because I was thinking of printing a few of those on canvas.

Those buntings are a real treat Greg! Wish we had them or something similar on the west coast.
