  4. I really like the photo of the hummingbird with the 'artistic" swirl of the blackberry blooms and green berries. Could make a lovely needlework of some type, couldn't it?
    I never knew woodpeckers liked hummingbird nectar. Bet that long tongue came in very useful!

  8. The two ravens look like they are having a conversation. I would love to know what they are talking about. :) Beautiful header as always.
