Remembering Summer
As the cold weather has seeped in, I’m spending more time indoors instead of out and I’m going through old photos I took in the past year. I came across this one of a male Eastern bluebird with cricket in beak. By the end of the summer, he was starting to look a bit ragged from having raised three clutches of babies. I thought I’d give him a makeover with the Orton effect, something experimental for me. So here’s Mr. Dreamy Bluebird; hope you like him.

This is adorable, I have one of a robin that I do not know what he has in his beak. Been doing the same thing going over old photos. I might have to try the orton effect on my robin. Very nicely done….Kay
