The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Bravo! I like the softness, it may be wind but to me it goes along with his blending into the plant. It's part of being a hunter. The colors are remarkable
