Wow, what a collection!! I must protest: the last one is lovely but I’d never call it my favourite. I lean more towards the lorikeet or both green ones. That emerald dove is such a beauty!!

Well, another one bites the dust. Your pingback was stuck in my spam. I’m sorry I didn’t comment sooner. I was working on the round up and realized I never saw your post. Thought maybe you ran out of time. I should have known better. Yeah, I guess you rounded up a couple of photos. You ran the gamut of the rainbow. I think this is your best gallery yet. I love color and you nailed the theme. I don’t know which one to choose. Hmmmm! 🙂
