Description

I was photographing this male house finch when my dog barked and scattered the background birds (two red-polls and one gold finch) from the feeder.

Well he didn't stay for long. I was lucky to snap just before this bird took off also. #10564000

I love the image, and I suspect I'd love your dog too. :) I so miss these little birds since we've moved south. Haven't seen one here in Florida. The serendipity provided you with a great base to create this lovely image from. #10570816

Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile
