Feather Fiesta!
Feather Fiesta!
Ole!! Another from my archives back in October last year ~ Scarlet Macaw, Caldwell Park Zoo, Tyler, TX

Physical Therapy is down to once a week - still working on rotational exercises, which are the hardest, but I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel - At long last and Hooray!

  Well I'm sure glad you dug this one out. What were you thinking not sharing it along time ago. I'm loving that crisp red against that lovely blurred bokeh!

  Oh I'm so happy to hear you 'see the light' at the end of that tunnel Val~
By viewing your beauty here - makes me see SUMMER! Lovely CoLOURS- awaiting some sunshine- thanks for the lift of rays! A fantastic portrait of a gorgeous bird...

We got a major snowstorm today- with lots of ice/snow- still crazy out there- My son and I both got 'snowdays' - hubby, is unfortunate though- so we have been SHOVELLING all the SNOW so he does not have to do it... URIAH LOVES the SNOW!

  So glad to hear of your progress, Val, I've been wondering how you've been getting along. PT can be a drag, but it does work.
This guy is glorious! wonderful color and incredible detail and clarity. Wish I had such great stuff in my archives!

  Hey, Val! This is awesome! The preening of the feather makes for fantabulous composition, and that color is divine! This is a WINNER in my book! So glad you are moving towards complete healing. Know it has been a loooong and grueling process for you!!
