    So beautiful Jan. This reminds me of our little Mossie. They look very similar. Excellent capture and beautiful technique.

    So lovely! I saved a little sparrow when I was a kid!
    Beautiful textures. xx

  • Jan Piller replied

    We used to “save” them all the time too – unknowingly putting them in more danger. These little guys seem to thrive best without human interference! hahaha What do kids know! Thanks for commenting Leila!

    AWWWW!!! Your little darlings just keep getting cuter and cuter … and look … he’s got yellow lips!!!! LOL!!! WHO KNEW??? Just soooo perfect … as always, your blending of the textures, the light, and the detail vie only with the sweet little faces of your babies for our admiration!!!!!

    This is gorgeous, there is a decline in the Sparrow’s here in the UK,

  • Jan Piller replied

    Oh no! How come there is a decline in them? Too many cats?

  • AnnDixon

    AnnDixon

    I think its something to do with Habitat, I have many coming to my garden because I feed them daily, the Starlings are on the decrease too, there is always food for them all, I adore the birds coming,

  • Jan Piller replied

    Oh good! yah we feed them too although it’s necessary – we live in the middle of farm and agriculture country – there’s always seeds and corn for the birds and the deer.
