I have been playing around with creating diptychs and other collages, so today, after I "developed" my pictures in Lightroom, I chose three related images that I think tell a story. Can you follow the storyline? Hint: Start in the upper left corner. Here's the sequence: Sparrow was ready to tuck into his favorite meal: …
“Bird lady”…
That's what two walkers said when they saw a downy woodpecker take a peanut from my hand..."You must be the bird lady! How do you do that?" the man asked. All I could reply was, "They like peanut chips!" I don't make a habit of feeding the critters in the park. After all, they are wild …
