Wonderful capture Gerry with clarity and nice composition. Perfect view of the feathers and they glisten so nicely in the sunlight. Excellent post. Thanks so much for sharing her.
After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Too bad the female didn't get any of the red at all...the males are so striking, but you got her in the best light and she has a sheen all her own. :)PJ
