No surprise to me that we are in agreement again, Kathy. As it turns out, I have two bonus days here in sunny, springtime Florence, thanks to the winter storm on the East Coast. My flight from Düsseldorf to JFK was canceled, and lucky me, I have to wait an extra two days here before I can get another flight back home. I'll make good use of the sunshine. I wish I could bring this weather back with me to my friends in NYC.

There are so many species pictured, and they are so accurately portrayed by the artists. One of the things my friends here and I have been talking about is the diversity of birdlife that the artists were so familiar with. It's just beautiful to see.Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.com
