And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees – Keats
can’t believe how trusting those birds are……wonderful……
Great pictures. Thanks.
Your photographs are wonderful today! The light was perfect. Those wood ducks should be on a magazine cover!
Splendid!
