Rick Sammon implores his students to make a picture. So I took his advice and took this photo yesterday while the sun had moved west and the wild Flaming Azaleas were at peak bloom. I thought that getting a photo of the bird bath and azalea plant with scattered ground cover blossoms in the periwinkle would comply with Rick's dictum.But I noted that the bird bath was lacking a bird. I use a free stock photo exchange called Stock.xchng and typed Gold Finch into the search window. I selected two photos and made selection that I copied to their own layers. I tried placing both photos on the bird bath but decided two was one too many. Don't forget to click on the photo to fill your screen.
