Oh, what a great capture, Rona! Deb's right - to see two or three - that would be amazing enough but 4 all on one branch??? That's over the top wonderful!! Superb dof, great light and details and the wonderful b/g perfectly depicts what I think the Celery Bog should look like - lushly celery green and mysterious! :) :) Instant fave! #9395253
