the fjord hint doesn't help. I give up!

Funny, when I first looked at the crested owl, I interpreted it as a bird looking up with it's mouth open incredibly wide. The fuzzy beaks had me confused for about 5 seconds until I finally saw what it was.

That orange bird is a Chinese Red Golden Pheasant. I intend to add some to my bird family. They are actually very common in aviculture.
The red wing blackbird was always one of my favorites. When I was a kid, growing up in the miserable winters of NY, the red wing was one of the first to return in the spring. When I heard his call, I knew warm weather was coming.

Debra Stevenson posted a blog postSome Wiccans and their seeking approval from Christians
One of the many religions that I had once belonged to was Wicca. It seems to me a lot of Wiccans but not all as well as some members of other Neo-Pagan groups seek the uncritical and unconditional acceptance from Christians and folk of other religions for their beliefs. This is understandable in its own way but I think you'd be wasting your time with the fundamentalists adherents of any non-neopagan religion. They don't want to accept or agree with anyone else's religious beliefs other than…See More
