(This image is part of a 'work-in-progress' which is scheduled for release in book form in September under the title: The View From My Window (Finding Beauty In Your Own Backyard.) This photo essay is about a long standing desire to erect a bird-feeder or two on my property (somewhere in the backyard) so that I can capture fascinating images of birds as they swoop in for a quick nibble on their way to God knows where.)
