Interesting picture Melinda. That squirrel doesn't seem to be bothered by the birds at all.
I've seen more colorful birds on this site that I thought existed, and so many interesting poses and actions. Photoshop is a good program, but it's frustrating trying to decide what is real anymore.

Oh I know Ruth, that's why I put a question mark after the word sharing. lol. That guy does NOT want the birds to have any, but it's such a cute picture. :)
Tony, these pictures are gorgeous! I don't think that one looks photoshopped.

I disagree, booklover. The starlings are trying to horn in and squirrel isn't sharing.

Hello fellow atheists! I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims. I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor.
I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists". I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"! .
No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes. 'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands. Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…
