Happy Spring to you, too, Roy! I love that Copland piece.
ReplyDeleteSpring already? Doesn't seem two weeks since Christmas. Bet you're glad it's warming up
ReplyDeleteWonderful images! As a bird watcher I really like that finch photo. Happy equinox!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the finch almost took my breath away, it is as near perfect in every way as any photograph of a bird I have seen in a long time.
