Spring Baby - (enlarge)

Hi Gail,

Looks very cute, great capture with nice colors!

Best regards, Tina

Due to a Broken Shoulder (April 26th) I have not been online - still

hurts to use computer and just figures it was my right shoulder. I've

tried to take a few pics using my Tripod. This little fella got separated

from it's Mom yesterday. I felt so sorry for this little babe. It was not

long before Mom appeared, so I ended this Photo Session quickly. I

hope to be online soon to do Comments etc. I apologise for my

absence! This certainly isn't how I'd hoped to start my Spring Photo

Shooting, but 'life' sends us all on a little 'curve' at times. I am

missing my time spent here. Hopefully I will mend quickly :-D (any

visits and/or comments are much appreciated, Gail)

Amazing beautiful image with great colors and texture. Close up extraordinare the way I like it. Fantastic presentation 7/7 from me! Warm regards.

Wonderful shot and I'm glad Mom came back to take care of it.  Best of luck to you as well, take care of yourself...  Mike

A fresh Gail from the north in the person of cool bird from the fall (at least that's my guess from the color of the leaves). Awfully nice to see you back on site.

 

Just read your comment on this picture. Sorry to hear you busted your shoulder. It's one thing to have to put up with the pain but not being able to use your computer...wow, I can't begin to imagine what that must have been like. Still everything passes in the river of time, the bad as well as the good. Looks like you'll be back to your old self soon enough. Ganbatte!

Life isn't as we wish as you told,is so good to see you back and step by step every day to recover and enjoy the nature you like so much.This first sign you have here(very well seen with nice colors and details) is for sure in this way.

only good thoughts to you

Dear Gail, First and foremost is get well soon. Your picture is great, the reddish leaves surrounding this little guy to a natural framing job. The clear details are a pleasure to view. Looks like you didn't miss a step. Again, a speedy recovery.

Best Always,

Holger

Hi Gail,

  I hope that your shoulder heal's real soon, from what I have heard that is really painful.  Beautiful image with wonderful colors & details.  Take care, Patsy

First, i wish you a speedy and full recovery.

This little fellow give you the chance to shine and shine you did!

Stunning, the Red Japanese Maple is framing and contrasting the scene perfectly. The details of the bird the DOF all works together well.

The way he looks at you just melts my heart.

My camera is still in the hospital - 56th day - so i know how you feel when can't go out and shot your favorite subjects.

My complements. 7/7

Best wishes.

Andy

A really beautiful shot with very nice lighting and details, Gail!

I hope you feel fast better...

With best regards,

I couldn't achieve this technical quality on such subject with three healthy shoulders, dear Gail!

 

I wish you full recovery as soon as possible!

Gail, we were wondering why you did not submit any pics lately. We wish you the best on your way to recovery.

Welcome  back!  Great to see you  posting again!  Take good care of yourself.

Gail, the details on the bird is very stunning to me. TFS!

Great capture! !!!   AJ

Hi Gail,

This is an awesome shot with excellent detail.  Composition is great and it is tack sharp.  Bravo!  Hope you are healing.  Take care of yourself. 

very beautiful

Get well, dear friend, take care of your health. The bird is beautiful, but the pics, PN and nature can wait until you get ready. Muchos abrazos. Mari

Welcome back Gail! Wish you fully recover soon! By the way, great colors, framing and focusing on this one! Cheers!

After a bit of time I'm happy to meet you and your work again! Wonderful image!

My sincere appreciation for each visit, comment and all the good wishes. I am not able to respond to each comment, I apologise. Still having trouble with right hand. It is going to be a lengthy recovery, but I am determined to enjoy the summer and take images as best I can. I see the surgeon this week - no doubt he will have a lot more exercises for me to start doing. Such good friends, your kind words warm my heart and encourage me as I 'heal'.

the best to each one always, Gail

Hi Gail. A beautiful image with wonderful colors. I like the composition, the detail of the plumage, and all these red leaves that serve to frame the image in a natural and artistic way. Nice work!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

My apologies for being so long in getting back to you. I appreciate your kind words. The bird was sitting on a bottom branch of a Japanese Maple we have in our front garden. Just a little 'tyke'. I enjoyed my time trying to get a few captures:) Gail

 

Beautiful capture with great details ! I'am happy that this baby found his family and I hope that your shoulder is healthy now !!

All the best,

Theodor D.

I am so sorry I did not see your comment sooner! Many thanks for your kind words, and yes, my shoulder is feeling much better, still have to go back to Physio for a 'tune-up' but exercise everyday and that helps!
