  Thanks, Joyce. They feed each other everyday outside my kitchen window - breakfast at 7am, dinner at 7pm. I think she's the boss, naturally!

"Love for Pawpa" is Norman Rockwell, both in the classic faces and in the composition and framing!

  Thanks, Terry. Hey - how come my door pictures don't look like "Number 42"? And that's the best picture of a clock I've ever seen - a real work of art!

  Thanks, Marsha. Yes, I'm lucky to have a nice view. My backyard is a veritable bird santuary! Of course, a little bird seed doesn't hurt either.

You have an impressive (and large!) gallery. I'm only half way through and it is something - really varied, interesting, and high quality.

Thanks again.
Ken

Ken Grooms
  Thanks, ladies! And yes, Mary, I put A LOT OF SEED (a 20 lb bag!) to get these birds exactly where I wanted them - about 7 feet outside my basement window! But I love to see and hear the many different kinds of birds the seed brings, so the $5 bag was a good investment - even without the photos it helped to produce.
