What a great photo series! Ahh, I feel like Karen does! These pictures make me homesick...That 2nd picture makes me long to hear a robin's song again...
This is how we spell Colouration in UK so guess I am keeping it spelt that way :)
Sean,that is how I learnt to spell colouration. But if i spell it that way my spell check corrects it and kicks the "u" out!!This happens with other words too!
Thank you Karen, I am only back home in UK until Wednesday then moving to Australia, so it has been my mission since I have been back to get a good Robin shot! Hope your well :D
Beautiful Sean! This makes me feel quiet homesick!
