Thank you very much.
I actually did this one because I needed a break from working on a black and white piece.
I'm glad that you like it!

Why do I always have to say something negative? It's wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have you know, Nina, that this poor little guy had his tail feathers sheared off in the Great Nectar Frenzy of '06, and that he's very sensitive about it!

... thanks for opening old wounds.
