They don't all look alike . . .

Okay, if anyone's to blame, it's Elena — she started it! I posted a photomontage of a bird I photographed in Santa Fe. Elena, Miss Smartypants, who had photographed the same bird, did her magic to it and posted it on her blog.

Well, the competition began. She then posted a photo of some birds carved on a door in Chimayo, New Mexico. I photographed that same door, concentrating on a different panel. Here's the link to Elena's version, so you can easily see what we both did. It's now official: Bird Wars 2011. What will she come up with next? Or is it my turn now?

To paraphrase Gertrude Stein, "a dove is a dove is a dove," except in the eyes of Elena and Carol. ©Carol Leigh
