Ahhh, semantics!!! Well, Eleven, I think you interpreted his meaning as the "second photo credited to Bob Axmear" when what he said was "the second photo," which was by Bob Axmear. I can see the FOURTH PHOTO of Osprey, which happens to be the "second photo by Bob Axmear" as you interpreted it, and those are young plants in small nursery containers. But the actual photo #2, it looks like Blue Cadet, and it is still blue, not gone green. Don't you just love playing with words? :) And HH, is your Osprey the same size as Blue Cadet? I have no idea the size of the leaf or the hosta in your personal photo.Plus, Osprey in the MYHOSTAS.BE says it is by Eric Smith.....but maybe you already knew that, and just hoped that the esteemed Mr. Pollock would reveal the rest of its story?

Darn, and he came up empty! Great shots!

Beautiful! I love ospreys, they look like they were assembled by the new guy.

Nice! I love those guys. That bird is a male (he lacks the "necklace" females have, unless I am missing it), and he is at least 1 year old, because I see his tail is in a molt. In the first year, all juvenile hawks have feathers the same length, as they all grew together. It was good to see you online. I've been remiss. ./\.../\ +.v.+ (. .. .) /:\../:\
