In the early spring the Redwing Blackbird males arrive early to stakeout a territory and then wait for their mates to arrive.

Agree with June. What a great contrast between the color of the grass and the bird. Great capture. High marks.

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile. Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

Lovely shot! I imagine it must have been a bit difficult to get this with such high contrast in colors. Really well captured!

This is very nice, I especially like all the different textures. The vibrant red among the muted cattials is also superb.

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
