balance.

  9. Arija, what a beautiful bird. These ARE more beautiful enlarged. (I did correct the spelling as you suggested; but there are two different spellings of this word as with some other words. The spelling you used is, however, the original. I didn't think anyone would pick up on it, so I chose the modern spelling.)

    Arija I told my daughter Angelique today how much I value what you have to say.

    Love Renee xoxo

  18. The bird is a lovely colour/ I'm not sure I've ever seen so many goldfish in one place. They are so beautiful!

  22. Your photos are wonderful! I wish you had been on my trip to Alaska to capture the bald eagles in flight, you would've done a great job!

  24. Hello my dearest friend! It is just now this evening that I have finally access to civilization! My Internet access was so slow at my FIL's so I am at my SIL's now . I am finally able to see your beautiful photographs! Enjoy the rest of your week dear friend, just in case I can't access again.

  25. Incredible captures. The one of the fish is magical. I can't get enough of looking at it. The water is so green and compliments the orange of the fish. So eye-pleasing.

  26. Thanks for visiting my WW post and for you nice comment.

    Great grouping you have here. I really like the one with all those fish...it looks like a painting. Enjoy looking at lots of water!!

  27. Nice pics--must be some good habitat.

    PS: a couple of trout made it home to the grill. Instead of "catch & release," we call that "hook 'em & cook 'em."

  28. Beautiful captures - I love especially the goldfish one.

  29. I think I've started to love the Galahs. They have attitude and beaty.
