This is an image (one of about 50) that my son took. I was going to put up one of the ones he took of me straightening my skirt, fluffing my hair, fixing my bra, making a face or yelling at him to quit laughing and just take the stupid picture ... but decided on this one instead.BIOI am a freelance writer and published author, from Canada. I also putter with web design and fractals. My friends cringe when they open their e-mail and see an attachment with the subject line "What do you think of this one?"
I also do public speaking and have a book published, on bullying, which came out this year. I speak in schools and for different organizations about bullying and writing and it's pretty time consuming but a lot of fun ... the kids are great. I also work for a major financial institution, I guess you could say in my spare time. :)
I have a website for the book, if anyone is interested in seeing what it's about ...

Very cool image and a great little story, shame folks are like that!! Weirdest bird rescue I ever did, was a hummingbird got caught in a spider web. Took a baseball hat and scooped her out, removed most of the webbing and away she went!!

I can't say which captured my interest most, my friend - the photograph, the poem or the covering story. All got my unstinting admiration: the photograph is a great capture, and so well composed; the poem is simply lovely - so full of hope, warmth and honey-slick flow; and the description could not fail to inform, amuse and stir to anger by turns. All-in-all simply magnificent, my dear Pat. vote

First of all, this is a great photo. Next, a great poem. Third, a sad tale about some human behavior. Thanks oodles.

I think your photo is great with the sharpness and the old grey boards especially are fine. And the robin, so beautiful with your poem and story. The bird seems to be famialar to me, too. And shame on those neighbors....

Art as not only an aesthetic end but decisively an inspired vehicle for an unforced and natural compassion. I'm a fan, as, obviously, are many. Always want to see what pl will do next. As for the sadistic neighbours, bird poop on them everyone!

You did a great thing and your pathetic neighbors will get their own someday. Hopefully they will learn something from it but doubtful.

What an amazing and very beautiful photo. You are a kind and loving person, and your neighbours ??? well, I just can't print here what I think of them, but I agree with Michelle A, and many an illegal thought crossed my mind too, what nasty and pathetic people they are !!!
