those early buds.. spring is on the way

edited to add:  a DD?  Well thank you so much!

Incidentally, all of my bird and squirrel photographs are free stock, even if they're not marked that way yet. Just send me a note of comment, and I'll make it available as stock.  Only rule, don't use em for anything vulgar. Also, I would like to see your finished work, so would love a link, so I can come admire.
