  5. Cool! Had to enlarge the photo to see the bird - he blends right in! (Or I really need to get my eyes checked....)

  6. My first thought was "oookaay
    ", then it was like... "there it is!" Very lovely shot Leah, he does a wonderful job of blending into his background.

  7. Bag Lady, yes, he is tough to see there.

    Reb, if I didn't know he was there I'd never find him. Thanks.

  8. The bird does blend in, makes it a wonderful photo, you get a surprise if you look closely enough.

  10. I had to click on the enlargement (which I avoid doing because it takes a while to load) before I could find the bird, and even then it took me a bit. He's amazingly well camouflaged. Good shot.

  13. I'm still having a heck of a time seeing the woodpecker even after enlarging! I know it's definitely my eyes. How lucky you were to be in a gorgeous orchid garden!

    Hope you're weekend is going well...(sounds like we may get snow next week. Does that mean you will finish your book?;))

  16. Redbush, it's on the branch about halfway. Look for the red.

    Dawn, I am blessed to have travelled. Finished the rewrite the other day and ran off a hard copy for husband to read. Thanks for asking. I'm just deciding now which of my other manuscripts to tackle. Weekend's coming along nicely. You?

    Ladyfi, thanks.
