What a magnificent photograph of that cardinal Artfulcreations, thank you so much xxx
I haven't seen one in real life since I visited home (Canada), they are beautiful birds and especially so when it's snowing and there is a blaze of red like that .... 
Lionrose, I watched a documentary about the kiwi bird a few days ago, what gorgeous birds they are, and they have unique personalities and characters, it was just delightful and I thought of you ...

Yep.....same person j*oono. I kept the Avi and siggy heart the same so people would still recognize me.
Pimpy, I still look through and kudo the pics on the photo thread, but time is a short commodity these days and I haven't been able to really participate and go out and take pictures. But I really enjoy the thread and hope that it's still going strong when I do finally get a little more down time.
Ftr....I disagree with Artful that Americans were treated differently on the photo thread. I didn't feel that way at all. I don't think I was treated any differently than any other new poster wandering in for the first time. True, some people were a little blunt in the beginning (and honestly, I can't remember who) about the amount and quality of my pics, but I never once thought it was because I was an American. I always figured they were probably equally rude to Aussies too and never took it personal. 
Seriously though...I have always felt welcome on your thread Pimpy. And personally, I don't think you should change one thing about it. I think it works perfect the way you have it now.
