Lots of Baby Sparrows around today. I love the ‘loose feather’ on the one on the right, reminds me of a ‘Kiss Curl’ 
Good practice for playing with painting with light and texture.

A lull in the fighting.
Well it has been a long time coming, because I decided to go to the full Photoshop editing program half way through doing this photo, which meant re-learning how to edit. I think it was worth it. Here is “A lull in the fighting”.
