I guess it's been a long time..welcome welcome welcome and welcome back again.
I hope your newest upload is only about the bird and has nothing to do with why you were away for so long, but it's a good one and I, for one, hope to see more of your fine uploads in the future..
My comments are always made from the heart with honesty and the utmost respect for the artist whose work I am commenting on. If I make suggestions, I wish them to only be taken in the sense that I want to be helpful and not harmful in any way. If I praise your work, I mean every word.
