OH, Trude how much I would love to make just one more trip back to my former Wednesday hangout, chat with friends and House visitors,walk around the ponds and talk to the birds, look for the bobcats and raccoons. I sure miss those good days. I miss all my friends more.
These photos Of yours are spectacular! They take me back a little and scratch my memory. Thanks for including me on your list of recipients of your superb photos.

Trude,
The photos are great. I especially like the shots in flight as the BWTE, CITE, WTSW and MERL. Thanks for generously sharing the wonders of nature!
Love,
Lena

I was so enthralled with your beautiful bird photography I was quite taken by the final photograph, a heart shaped leaf “from god’s heart to ours” . SWJS is a magical and beautiful gift, thank you for sharing!!!

Thank you for the 'virtual' field trip! Splendid shots all! Almost better than being there and seeing with the eye! Gillian
