The snow is deep along the pass, The Josef ice is blue, No bird could bear the bitter cold, Save you, save only you.~~ Save you, oh friendly wayward thing, So shy, and yet so bold, Are not the little ice-flints sharp? Are not the ridges cold? ~~ But you who are so fair to man, Why do you swoop and leap? Why do you tear the little lambs, And score the trembling sheep? ~~ Ah, call your flocks and keep the ice, For there you do not sin. Forget the farmyard and the fleece, Go not the field within.~~ There is no lark upon the snow, There is no thrush above. It is your kingdom; tarry there, If you would have our love.~~~ -Poem by Eileen Duggan . . . . . .. Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Thanks for looking, all comments advice and opinions welcomed and appreciated.

He is a real beauty and your close up is wonderful. Many of the predators and birds of prey look beautiful but that is nature's way.

That's an excellent presentation Lyn. I love that frame. Opps! I said almost the same thing as Owd Bob. I should read the comments before typing, huh?

I just can't imagine this being any better. Pefection. What else can I say other than my grandson put it in his critters. That's as good as it gets. Very good Lyn.

what an excellent presentation Lyn! I really like the idea of putting him outside the centre framed section and fading his image at the bottom - it works really well!

Exceptional post Eve ... The head shot leaves nothing to be desired ... and the rather unusual framing strikes me as very ""classy". Marvelous profile ... Well photographed and most imaginative. The Poem didn't "hoit" either. :)
