.... bring out some old images.

The weather has been cloudy and cold, and the birds aren't around much lately so I decided to go through some old images. Here are a couple from last spring. Hopefully, birding will pick up again in a few weeks. As always, C&C are welcome and thanks for looking.

I hope it picks up for you soon Kris. These lulls are great times to process forgotten images. Would have been a shame if these beauties would have went unprocessed. The colors really pop off the neutral backgrounds. Great work.

These are very nice!

This is why I don't delete RAWs (except ones that are obviously crap) - it's fun to go through old images when times get slow. Y'never know what you're gonna find.

Thanks for the nice comments Steve. I've got about 12 feeders out, plenty of water for them and there are trees but the birds are AWOL. This usually happens about this time every year and then it picks up again around X-mas.

Thanks Perry. I'm enjoying going through the old stuff although I do have a lot of "crap" to look at. I forgot I had these two images.
