What a cool write. I bet that hummer was very appreciative of one last sip. Enjoyed this very much, especially on a snowy afternoon! TD |

Ed All it takes is a pause sometimes, a stepping aside to allow other creatures to get what they need...The bird has rewarded you with its beauty, for the favor.. now you can continue your work... enjoyed ----------ice ><> |
