I hope you don't mind I put a couple of spaces between each picture.

By All means yes it is!  You have done a great job of capturing its beauty! 

I really can't say which is my favourite!

Thanks Judy. I remember when I was just trying to see one. Now that some Birder friends have helped me with the places that they Nest, I've been able to get a lot of photos. I'm glad you liked= them.

Have a blessed day

That bottom one looks like he is in some sort of cage.  Perhaps a tomato cage?

They are truly beautiful.  God must have a soft spot for them, to give them such gorgeous coloring.   ;)

Thanks Jeanne Lee. I believe you might be right. Just a quick note to Judy. That is actually a part of a Feeder that the Bird is in. But at onetime these birds were sold as Caged Birds. I'm glad they're able to fly free like the Lord intended. There are still a lot of beautiful birds through out the world. Just one way that God shows His Majesty. He truly created the most beautiful things. So, let's just enjoy and give Him praise for it.

That certainly is a beautiful bird!  What a creative God we serve!

Thanks Janet. Some of my birding Friends will try to say that these birds evolved to be like this. But they know where I stand on the subject. We manage to get along. But I don't know How they can deny God as the Creator after seeing all these beautiful Birds. They have to go to my Website to see pictures that I have taken. It's based on Revelations 4: 11. I still share the photos with them and they like that.

Have a blessed day

Keep on telling them, Steve!  You never know which seeds may fall on fertile ground.  Some of them may be in heaven because of your steadfastness in the Word.  Blessings to you.

Thanks Janet. You know I will. I had some photos that I offered at a Local Wetlands Center. It was ti help the boys and girls to learn more about what they might see there. When I got the photos back, the Head lady there had taken tape and covered up my scripture verses and a few of them she didn't even use. I didn't confront her about the situation. WE cleaned the glass off. Her husband has helped me a lot by telling me where to find Birds and what time of year to go. So, I send him pictures to use. But for the most part, I just publish the Link to my website. If they want to see the photos they will have to go there. Some of the photos are of Rare Birds that they want to see. I'm trying to go yhr second mile with them.

It must have been hard to maintain silence in the face of that, Steve!  What a shame that people are so brainwashed by the forces of evil that they are afraid of anything from the Gospel, or even the very mention of God.  Really a sad situation.

That lady certainly had a lot of nerve!  She really had no right to tamper with someone else's property!   >:(

You just have to remember that they don't have the Spirit of God within them. They are just believing what we all were forced to learn in High School Biology. It's easy for us to see as Christians but these folks are blinded by the Deceiver. Don't take this wrong. I do get agitated a little by their actions. But most of their life's are centered around Birds and their welfare. I remember what Jesus said in John 10 verse 10: "The thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might and that they might have it more abundantly."
