You have yourself one beautiful gallery here Debbie. Some of these folks in the mid west may enjoy a heat wave about now. This bird is showing its woes. Beautiful colors and details. Gorgeous look my friend. #10938570

Amazing capture and story, considering that much of the U.S. and Canada are in deep freeze! Here, near Philadelphia, all the snow from the last "blizzard" melted last night when temps rose to 59F with rain. Tomorrow the highest temperature is predicted to be 11F. Weird weather. #10938585

Excellent detail Debbie. We are on polar opposites of the world, it will be -41 C tomorrow and I'm reading about your heat waves. A happy medium would be nice!
