They do look like splattered paint. Something that might happen if I was painting over the petunia patch! Lovely capture in words and picture!

PS–are you familiar with Dawn Birdau’s (?) blog? She’s also a great photographer, and captures birds–like you do. And one other, whose name I’ve forgotten just now–she’s in Florida. I’ve come to really appreciate a few of you who take marvelous pictures–it’s a way of “traveling, visiting other places” for me, and stress-free!
