~Feathered Rivalry~
THANKS SO MUCH TO RED BUBBLE
FOR FEATURING THIS ON THE HOME PAGE
8th February 2009
...let’s all play nicely here folks and keep this brilliant community a melting pot of creativity, friendship and tolerance
co-hosting three groups of my own, i do know it can be frustrating at times but seriously – there are far greater problems in this world at the moment than a challenge indiscretion – and in all honesty – most people really do just get confused with all the different rules of so many wonderful and exciting groups on here and omit the required specs – it only takes a little prod or gentle (cut & paste) reminder – which basically involves less energy that it does to delete the pic and send out rude & aggressive bubblemails!
Life really is too short…unwind a little…don’t measure so much – the essence of any piece of art is the creative expression captured at that particular point in time…what came from the heart and eyes of the artist…not the logistics and statistics or the definition of urban!
Red Bubble is not an official high end exclusive photography club bound by rigid rules and regulations – the very opposite – it’s a collective bunch of ordinary people who share the same passion for art and photography – and who enjoy expressing themselves through their art in the hope of being respected by like minded individuals – sharing new ideas, techniques and different perspectives from all walks of life – the world doesn’t need any more bullies…♥

thanks Leanne… yes i’ve had one of those beaks go right thru my index finger and out the other side!!! – there was a split second of pre-pain recognition when i thought…”now THIS is going to hurt!!!” then AGONY and tetanus shots and 2 weeks of total THROBBING PAIN!!! LOL ♥
N & L Williams...
oh my I can feel the agony from here, I’ve only been bitten by a Galah and that was bad enough the size of a Cockatoo’s beak freaks me out.
