Thanks so much Sucho! I’ve had several birds land on my head which is so wonderful!...but this image is pure fantasy! Mind you, my dog Abby doesn’t chase the birds at all, which I’m grateful for…she actually loves to watch them and does so for hours. She’d probably love it if one landed on her nose for real! =)

You made me smile with this wonderful image. Excellent job putting the two photos together. I would never have known it wasn’t right from the camera. Great focus and color.

Karen Tillotson replied
Ah thank you Carol! I had so much fun doing this, so I’m very happy that it gave you a smile!!! And thanks for the super comments…much appreciated! (Gotta love those stare-downs, eh? I have three pooches to test my ability to keep a straight face ..lol!!!)
