A moment in time. I have some great shots taken from behind. I'm glad you were able to see your brother while he was in Toronto. You must miss him, but the Internet is a great tool, as he said. I'm glad he is getting time to go and visit his new grandson.<BR/><BR/>How lucky you are to Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-34036680983986720192008-07-28T09:48:00.000-04:002008-07-28T09:48:00.000-04:00I love your first image of family.

I finally have the bird feeders set for small birds only, suet dough in upside down feeders and the tray feeder with safflower for the cardinals and doves.

Thanks, Ruth. It's so true, even though sometimes we forget just how important families are to us.<BR/><BR/>I haven't been feeding birds much this summer either. Tonight, however, I saw a female Cardinal looking for a morsel at the feeder and I caved in...and will take care of them. They stay but the families keep moving on.

Our deck and borders get so messy that I take them down. There is abundant food around this summer for the birds...bugs and seeds.
