Stunning photos, as always. Thanks!
I second the above comment. Beautiful photos, as per usual.
(But, am I the only person who can’t see the word “Meadowlark” without thinking of the Harlem Globetrotters?)
Awe-inspiring and captivating work, Colin! Thanks for sharing your labour of love with us.
Whoa, those are gorgeous. Thanks you!
Beautiful!
You’re a master artist Colin!
Great photos!
There’s no way one could call the sound a Great Blue Heron makes singing
These are brilliant. Even the ubiquitous robin is beautiful, calling in the snow.
Nice crow picture.
Thank you so much for another installment of your absolutely spectacular photos. They are such a bright spot in the midst of all the negativity in the world.
