Thanks for sharing your lovely sightings with us---the finches in flight made my heart take flight. :-) <br /><br />I hope your blogging break is restful and that you find a way to make blogging fun again. I do so enjoy your posts about your wonderful trips and would miss them keenly if you stopped, but I do understand your weariness.

I totally understand. I felt the same way a while back but I am glad to be able to get back in the groove and share some of my gardens.
