We've been having lots of rainy days this week, but I am OK with that! After the horrible drought we had last year, I will take every drop of rain that Mother Nature can spare! There's been a few moments of clear skies, just enough for me to walk out to The Briar Patch and say hello to some friends.


"I swear I groomed my feathers just this morning! It's the darned wind I tell you!" 
~Red Breasted Nuthatch~


Hey! Mr Seagull, didn't your Mother ever teach you not to squawk when your mouth is full!!


"I think you can knock it off with the rain now! We get it it's springtime! Ra Ra!" 
~Ms Woodpecker~


"Find a cookie, pick it up. All day long you'll have good luck!" 
~Crystal~


"I am completely hidden behind this tree! There's no way the human will ever find me now!"
~Winston~


I was so excited to see this little girl again last week. Thanks to my IG friends, she is now called
~Ginger~


"This is so not fair! Those chipmunks can fit like six of these in their face! I'm so jealous!" 
~Missy~


For my macro today, a sprig coming to life! It's hard to tell, but this entire grouping of buds was only the size of my thumb!


That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.

    Fun photo of the gull :D Here there are a lot of them, even in the city! They waiting near the trash cans and search any edible food... Poor them, there aren't too much fishes in the sea.
    Amazing photo of Ms Woodpecker, how cute! Crystal like cookies, surely! :D Sweet little squirrel! And Winston make me giggle, he think to be invisible eheh!! Also Missy makes me laught, such a pile of peanuts she can bring! The cute Ginger seems angry, perhaps she doesn't like photos? LOL

  22. Wow, Pamellia! What a beautiful birthday card, filled with those gorgeous layers of fantastic papers that no one in a zillion years would think would go together. But you have made them work perfectly together, and I love the color combo. The dainty die cuts and lovely blooms, the lace and the pearls all just make for one amazing shabby design! It's breathtaking!

    As always, I am smitten with your photos and your delightful captions on your furry and feathered models! Gorgeous photos; I love the one with the sun shining off the leaves! Thank you for sharing these two tremendous talents of yours with us! Sending the biggest hug your way!

  24. I LOVE your card, who couldn't, the pink and brown is a beautiful combination, with all the beautiful leaves and flowers, the lace the doily and that fabby bow, SO VERY BEAUTIFUL.

    Your photos are amazing my friend, the patience you seem to have to get these is wonderful, and SO worth it. I go out to get piccies and don't see anything, at least not long enough to get the quality shots you get. Congratulations on another Fabulous post.

  28. Brown and pink sure does to together! And pair beautifully might I add. My grandma gave me a brown and pink gingham blanket before. Wish I still had it. Anyhow, your birthday card is delicious and delightful and filled with many treasure. But what I can't figure out is the butterfly die? Is it a die? Girl, you got me straight guessin.
    Your pics are spectacular as usual. Hope the Briar Patch is ready for some spring and summer pics. Hugz to you muffin! ~Doc

  36. So delicate and lovely, Pamellia! Roses and oceans, both marvels of nature which you have paired admirably in this beautifully layered masterpiece. Leave it to you to bring so many pretty papers together like a flakey pastry. The filigree butterflies and leaves are the perfect garden accessories. Thanks for sharing your Briar Patch excursion!
