i pretty much understood about the butcher shops etc ..
i just had trouble looking .. and thats nothing to do with you .. or your photos ..
anyway .. i'm glad to be able to be filled up with warmth and charm with this beautiful photo Mariuca ..
the lighting is perfect and the drinks and the chips .. look EXTREMELY inviting ..
i'm loving how i feel like i'm sitting at the table .. just about to reach for one of those delicious looking drinks and maybe a chip or two .. and just breathing in the atmosphere of the place .. wonderful .. :)

this is gorgeous btw ..
i just opened this up as i wanted another look and noticed the lens ..
was just wondering about the fairly shallow depth of field with what i'm thinking is a wide angle lens ..
in my experience a wide angle lens.. even when you're really close .. doesnt get that dof .. i'm loving it ..
educate me ...

lol .. AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH .. !! .. NO NO NO NO .. !! ..
thats pretty funny .. and makes me think of things we do to get a photograph ..
even endanger life and limb .. in this case possibly a digit or two .. and the ability to grasp properly .. for the rest of your life .. !! .. ;)

The Hawk

i enjoyed your story .. all the pics that you have just posted show that you are a very caring person .. the birds .. your roses .. etc .. its a shame the hawk cant have a feed of the chickens .. lol .. but hopefully he and his mate will find something edible soon .. that hawk .. he looks a bit bedraggled .. its a very harsh environment you live in .. even tho its not a great quality pic .. 100 yards point and shoot .. its still got a lot going for it ..:)

lovely that you have a haven for the birds .. and its not even strange that you would say that you encourage them to tell their friends ..
when i put out seed its like they do tell each other .. firstly a couple of rosellas might come by and have a feed .. before long there will be a few cockatoos and then the king parrots .. its amazing their communication .. almost beyond our understanding ... well mine anyway ..
this is beautiful btw .. the intense sky in the background .. and the snow .. what a dramatic contrast . and there's that bird .. hanging on to the branch with his little feet . sooooo cute . :)
