Love the squirrel, who appears to be defeated by the birdfeeder. Amazing. How can that be?

It made me appreciate how great and beautiful our nature is. I thought that if I start posting my local bird photos like Betsy, I am sure my readers would scream and ask me to take them off. Our birds are mostly in somber gray and brown shades besides those black ugly crows! Maybe I should dye them pink and blue!

I just read your last post, and Betsy, I am SO sorry!!! But this experience has helped to make you who you are, and you are wonderful. I firmly believe that we go through valleys so that we can empathize with and help others. Forgiveness hurts us and eats us up, but rarely affects the offender! I also feel that your post will do so much to help others!!! Your valley was not for nothing!!
