I bought this in the greeting card form. I have been purchasing cards from Fine Art America for two or three years. Covid might have been some of the reason for looking for cards on the internet. Shops were closed. The main reason I buy cards from FAA is because I got tired of looking for cards at the usual card shops. I could find cards (sometimes) that looked good on the outside but the verses were terrible or it was the other way around...terrible on the outside but maybe a decent verse inside. I pick cards from FAA that fit with the occasion. I figure I can write something on the inside as good as any card company could. I wouldn't buy these cards if I didn't think they were wonderful. The cards are beautiful and excellent quality and the envelopes are equality as good. I am glad I can make a copy of what I've bought so I can keep track of who gets what card. I don't want to send the same card to someone twice. In this case, the card is going to someone for Mother's Day.

Photography is my passion! I enjoy capturing and sharing the world around me as seen through the lens of my camera. My primary interest centers around the beauty of nature with my main subjects being flowers, birds, animals, butterflies and sunsets. I find many opportunities to photograph the natural world through my love of bird watching and visiting botanical gardens. Over my lifetime I have lived and traveled (and continue to travel) to many parts of the world and enjoy sharing those cultural experiences with others through my photography. In addition, I use various digital techniques to create painterly photographic art, Out of Bounds (OOB) 3D art illusions, and colorful abstracts from my own photographs. Your time spent...

Betty LaRue
Oh, my, this is wonderful! Why doesn't my sharp-shin bathe in my bird bath? Does yours scare away all your songbirds? I haven't had to fill my feeders in a month. :( v/f
Sue Melvin replied:
I think this event was out of the norm, Betty! I believe it was a juvenile and it was really hot out, so it decided to cool off. It was something to watch as it splashed around just like the other smaller birds! And, yes, the hawks do scare off the other birds, but they don't seem to stay around long.
Will Borden
What an outstanding sight, Sue~ a hawk in a birdbath is very unique! The expression on it's face is priceless and it looks like it's been through a hurricane!! Love this one for sure, it's hilarious!!! F,V& SU!
Deborah Smith

Sue--wow--this is wild! I do have a photo of one in a birdbath--but he is just standing there. Voted.
Randy Rosenberger
Wow, what an opportune capture of this hawk in the birdbath, as I have never seen this before. Takes up the whole bath, and it quite unique to see one in a birdbath. I most unique thing I have seen was on the golf course, when ready to put on a green, an American bald eagle landed about 50 feet from me, finished its snack or snake, I believe. Looked at me, and flew off! Wow, but I got a par on that hole, not an "eagle" , darn! lol This is one splendid and surprising capture, Sue. fave and vote and tweet and FB and g+1 on this unique piece!
Sue Melvin replied:
Randy- thanks for your sweet comments and all those promotions!!! Wow!!! I had also never seen a hawk visit a birdbath! It took a bath just like any other bird, splashing up a storm. It first stood in the water for quite a while! Was something neat to see! Cute story about the eagle on the golf course! LOL
Sharon Burger
wow Sue, this is an amazing capture, and he is angry for being spied on in the bath... v/f
