Task 2013: I’ll try to post everyday a photo [that’s a 365 day project], introducing Flickr photographers, who sent their artworks to my group BLOG IT! Below a cool composition by Keith Williams, cold weather survival strategies – maybe you like to take the shot as a metaphor (like me): our optimal strategy to survive 2013, if the upcoming year gets harder than 2012 …

I kind of like this one better because the color of the birds are more pronounced. Lovely shots.

hi Laura!
For many brave soldiers some tips how to desert would have been a better advice. Why not emigrate to Quebec? A bad flashback to the soldiers of Napoleon entering Moscow too. Not to mention German soldiers in Stalingrad. Together we stand, divided we fall – in this bird case for sure a good idea, but for soldiers without using reflection: sometimes not; is my European opinion too much for an American soul?
