Ken, this is a little marvel. Goodness me, you are very quickly becoming king of the goldies . Just look at that background, and the smoothness in the background, and my eyes havent't even got to the goldie and I am marvelled already.

This is a stunner, absolutely. This is one of those shots I would definitely want it framed and hung on my living room.
I am going to cry as I want one like this too please..

Going running now to put those branches like you said on my feeders,
