You might spot me at Kirra Beach, the South-Eastern end of the Gold Coast, Australia,  if you like beach walking like myself... but there is more ! My son Jeff (*jif3d*, here at Rendo, it helps to advertise, ooops)... he took this pic of me in 2000, then manipulated it in photo-shop and it's still one of my favourites. Just very briefly about my past... *born in East Prussia; *grew up in Berlin, West Germany; *migrated to "OZ" in 1960, (not the Wizard of Oz) but...AUSTRALIA ! I guess  I was more into '2D' since early childhood, and thinking that my son Jeff may have inherited some of my artistic skills, because he translated them into '3D'. I am hooked on photography, since I discovered cameras... that's it in a nutshell. BTW - one of my fav.quotes.... ** I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is trying to please everybody !**                                              that's a wrap... Cheers Brigitte.

What lovely birds! I wonder if they sound as pretty as they look.

I will copy from my bird book, about the sound, they make: " extremely high, almost inaudible, a drawn out squeak, tseee, tseet ...

Seems like Santa's little helper's are ready and all cleaned up nicely to help Jacomina celebrate (they will probably eat all the cake, if she's not quick !) her Birthday...YAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
Great image timing and those red splashes really jump off the screen.
~Cheers~

I love your postwork, the birds almost seem 3D, they're so smooth and they stand out like little carvings or ceramics. I found 19, but I could be wrong. The birdbath (urn, whatever it's called in Oz), is a beautiful base for the birds, and those reds stand out sweetly. And the leaves on the left are terrific there, as a foil to all the grass behind. A very sweet gathering for Jacomina, singing Happy Birthday in all kinds of different configurations. And I second your words, and wish Jacomina a wonderful birthday, and many more. Another creative piece from you, Brigitte, with your unique way with an image---the number of birds, and your wonderful work on them makes this unique. Perfect for Jacomina, whose also unique and special to all of us. Happy Birthday, Jacomina!

This photo was taken through glass sliding doors and a very fine thin curtain, that's why it needed some pw - to have the birds stand out - I wouldn't have had otherwise the shot with '19' birds !!! they would have taken off in no time at all ... you just have to trust me on that one and that's why they look a bit '3D' - not too shabby, hey ?

Oh, honey, I'm really impressed by your beautiful finches, with their flaming beaks and bottom. Haha, exactly the same color red, and therefore, I think everyone was wrong with counting all this beauty together. I counted namely 21, and 21 is my special number. I'm born on a 21, Karel's birthday is on a 21, and Karel and I got married on a 21. Oh, and my father also was born on a 21. So now, how sorry, I can't hear these 21 birds singing together, it must be so very wonderful. Especially because I know you 'nerds' are so generous in giving love, and share love. Namely, not only to birds, you give this loving attention, I (and with me many more people) you give this loving attention, even I may share (and with me many more) in your generous gifts of warmth. A loving heart is what everyone will meet when they met you, dear friend Gitti. Anyone who wants to see it, which is sincere, can read, and feel, how very much you have received upon compassion to care for the other. With all my heart, I am grateful to have met you. Unfortunately, not in real life, but I keep hoping, once we see each other face to face. How nice would that be?!
p.s. I'm so sorry I'm that late with my response, dear friends, it's due to the flu.
