Photography
www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/11/30/50-beautiful-examples... Because of it being here, this photo has greatly elevated views.
Please view the rest of this set for your amusement. The wren was nesting in a birdhouse nearby, and fought the intruder (its reflection) in the gazing ball for three days before giving up. Oh, and I was in the house when taking this photo...
