@pflaume - Thanks Lisa. I always used to try and get the entire thing I was snapping a pic of and it was a long time before I realized it was rarely better that way. :-)

@paul2782 @maggiemae @elaine55 - thank you - and Maggiemae I am smiling - they have a lot of ice-rinks at the moment. This morning I put out some cool but not cold water and withing minutes there were several drinking it.

It is fun to watch birds try to land on a frozen birdbath - great light in this shot!

I like the composition -- it really shows up nicely when enlarged against the black background.
