Thanks everyone. I'm always amazed and very grateful when someone says something nice about something that I can't seem to help doing.

Great stuff, Ed. Must be something to do with this sturgeon moon.

Birds. So much inspiration. A complex and fascinating poem, onemorething. Your allusion will have me scooting off to find out. I watched the video. My parents. Fish & chips handed over, slightly cold from a detour. Very nicely done.

Great portrait, Ed.

Great portrait, Ed.

Really well studied. My aunt and uncle, who lived on the other side of the hedge currently to my left had an exaggerated dislike of magpies. Poor magpie. Like many birds, they suffer from a bad press. Nature (life)...
