THIS IS NOT A.I !!!! MY PHONE HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE COLLAGES !!!! I T6OOK SO MANY OF THESE YOUNG VARRIGATED VRITILARIES I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY IT OUT . OK FOR A FIRST TRY WITH MY SCRAMBLED BRAIN !! there was a pair making babies on my deck ! female had been laying eggs on my false sunflowers)

AFTER A FEW BAD DAYS THIS MORNING I WAS GIVEN THIS ! PROBABLY NEED TO ENLARGE IT TO SEE THEM BUT POOR QUALITY PIC IS JUST A PHONE SNAP A PAIR OF GOLDFINCHES ON MY 6 FOOT PLUS MAXILLILIAN SUNNIES . THESE ARE A MIDDLE SIZE WILD SUN FLOWERS THAT GROW HERE TO 6-7 FEET TALL SELF SOWN THE ONES YOU USUALLY SEE MY BUTTERFLIES ON A THE TINY BUTTERFLY MAGNET FALSE SUNFLOWERS ! AS YOU CAN SEE KITCHEN LIGHTS REFLECTED IN THE GLASS AND STAINED GLASS SUN-CATCHERS AT MY WINDOWS ! THIS WAS A ONE CHANCE PHOTO I ACTUALLY GOT 5 THIS WAS THE BEST AND NOT GREAT. BUT !

A BIT MESSY ! BUT THIS NEST HAS BEEN USED FOR 11 YEARS AND SHE OR HER DAUGHTERS HAVE RAISED 2 CLUTCHES OF EGGS EVERY YEAR !! I ORIGINALLY ADDED THE LITTLE CROSS PIECE FOR HER TO MAKE A STEADIER NEST. ONLY THIS YEAR 2/3 rds OF THE NEST TOPPLED OFF ! BUT THIS IS STILL THE SECOND CLUTCH THIS YEAR ! THEY FLEW OFF ABOUT 40 MINS AFTER I TOOK THIS PIC.

I HAD A WONDERFUL SURPRISE TODAY ! THE EASTER SUNDAY IRIS A COLLAGE WAS THE BEST WAY I COULD SHOW HER OFF

A.I. YES BUT LOVE IS LOVE IT KNOWS NOT RACE CREED OR GENDER. WE ALL NEED TO CARE AND LOVE OTHERS IN THIS FRACTURED WORLD. REMEMBER TO TELL THOSE YOU TREASURE THAT YOU LOVE THEM NOT JUST FOR VALENTINES DAY BUT FOR ALWAYS

I AM NOT BEING POLITICAL (YOU WOULD BE IN NO DOUBT IF I WAS !!) BUT I FELT THE NEED TO TRY AND CREATE (YES IT IS A.I. i am still learning to make with it) SOMETHING OF BEAUTY HEALING AND GENTLE AS A TRIBUTE OF BEAUTY AND POSTED TO ATTEMPT TO OFFER SOME HOPE IN THIS FRACTURED WORLD . LIKE MANY TODAY I FEEL OVERWHELMED BY THE VIOLENCE AND ANGER WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS I KNOW IT SO DO YOU.
