Before I start, I would just like to extend a huge thank you to everyone for all of your kind condolences on the loss of sweet Linda. I am so very grateful to each of you for your caring support! Your comments brought tears to my eyes, but joy and comfort to my heart! Thank you!

For my landscape photo today, a snap of The Shire where I go to take my photographs. The leaves are starting to fall now, making for a breathtaking walk in the mornings!


A female juvenile Cardinal - "Care to join me in a crazy dance? It goes something like this... One step, two step, flap flap flap!" 


There is a man who roams the woods with a slingshot, he is a horrible man who has taken the lives of several birds just that I've seen, and he takes shots at squirrels too!! This quote comes to mind when I think of him. - "You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him." James D. Miles


Don't give me that look FREEDA, there's a peanut right beside you. It's not my problem you climbed right over it! Silly girl!


"What do you mean you're out of peanuts!" "Nooooooooo!"


BON JOVI looking as beautiful as ever!!


Something has worked up HENRY'S appetite because he is licking his lips in anticipation!!


And back on the home front, my sweet CRAZY KAREN sticks her face right up to the camera. I think she's hoping that a peanut may be hiding inside!! lol


PATRICIA on the other hand, watches from above. Waiting for the excitement to die down so she can eat in peace and quiet. What a shy gal she is.


Last but not least, my macro for the day is this dried up leaf. There is beauty everywhere, don't you think! Notice the detail is a little better, I upped my game as promised! lol


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. Happy Weekend to you all, see you on Monday!

  2. Indeed super gorgeous DP from Pion Pamellia. Just love your creation, looks awesome. Great pictures too, as you say there is beauty everywhere one just has to be willing to see it AND appreciate it. I even love watching my chickens sometimes they can be so funny. And they are so smart too. Enjoy the day, hugs Veerle

  8. What a romantic card you have created Pamellia - love the papers, and you have made great use of them.
    Sorry to hear of the loss of Linda - it always hurts when loved ones die. I don't like the sound of that man at all :-(
    Your Shire photos are beautiful, and you really seem to capture the essence of the character of the creatures! The macro photo is incredible.
    Blessings

  12. Gorgeous card - so soft and feminine. I think the man in the woods is sick and I would be reporting him to the authorities.

  13. Are you EVER right about those incredible "rose" papers, Miss Pamellia! Softness, peacefulness, a certain sanctity of self... beautifully done. I always like the way you tuck goodies into your layers - like the tags, ribbons and leaves - and the pretty horizontal lines that have pearls or provide a break for the background layers. Lovely!

    You certainly captured the sun perfectly in that landscape shot, P. Don't you love the "unexpected" AHHHH moments when the sun filters through the trees and highlights something, as though that moment was created JUST FOR US to view and enjoy, and as though the Artist of the Universe is giving us some sort of amazing gift at that very moment? And of course, we turn another direction, and become just as enthralled with some other Prettiness that is completely different from the one we just enjoyed?

    I was thinking about your quote, and the man with the slingshot. How sorry I feel for him. Something twisted and terrible happened to him to cause him to enjoy harming Nature's gift. Something is missing in his heart. Or worse, something has been taken from his soul at some time in his life. Perhaps it is not that he is terrible, but that something terrible HAPPENED to him, that has caused him to behave the way he does? I always feel sorry for people who cannot feel... cannot feel outside themselves... because I know somehow, they were/are damaged.

    Freeda is too funny! Like you, when I look at things (any thing at all - alive or inanimate - I immediately sense a story LOL too funny! Freeda was just in a hurry to see her dear mom - and when she saw you, she was so happy, she became spellbound for a moment! LOL

    Darling photos as always, Miss P, and I thank you for sharing your wonderland with us.

  14. Too me... this card should be in a museum specifically designed for heirloom quality cards Pamellia. This is sheer PERFECTION. Honestly - I am not even a pink person but I have to just say... this seems to me to be one of the most beautiful cards I have ever seen you make. It's not to much nor to little, it's dainty but rich, it's extremely elegant but gentle. Every inch of it is SPLENDID BEAUTY. I'm awed.

    And your family is so adorable. What incredible pictures. Hheeheheh - so fun to see their little tongues and precious expressions. They truly made me giggle. The cardinal picture is precious. And wow - your leaf is amazing to see. You are so talented and bring such joy to our lives. Thank you. Xj.

  15. Beautiful card, as always, Pamellia! I am so sorry about Linda--I was wondering what happened when I saw her photo on your sidebar. These photos are fabulous! Is there any way you can report that horrible man to the authorities for cruelty to animals?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Let me back up here, Pamellia. I just read your response to my comment on your previous post. I completely forgot Linda was the one with the mass on her face. I was just telling my mother a few weeks ago about how kind you are to her and the other animals. I feel so terrible. The important thing is that she had someone like you who cared enough to do all you could to bring her back to good health. What a blessing you are to her and all the animals. Hugs.

  17. Your card is beautiful, soft serene and gentle ... In total contrast to the evil person in the woods ... How heartbreaking to hear this ... Here's hoping karma come to him!

  18. Oh my gosh, that is the most beautiful card, Pamellia!! It's dreamy and romantic and totally takes my breath away!! What stunning papers!! You've showcased them perfectly!! The design is amazing and the details you added are just perfect!! I absolutely love, love this!! It's shabby chic perfection!!

    Your landscape pictures are quickly becoming my favorites...though I still adore the critters, too :) You capture nature so beautifully!! That shot of the Shire is amazing!! It needs to be framed and hanging in a gallery!!

    The man with a slingshot makes me sad. That quote is perfect. There is something wrong with people who hurt animals for any reason. Your shots of the crew are stunning!! That "no peanuts" shot makes me laugh!! And your macro is amazing what stunning detail!! I've so enjoyed strolling through the Shire with you this morning my friend!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! Happy Friday!! Big hugs :)

  23. Oh no... just now I have seen Linda's photo in the sidebar and thought "What"??? ... She seemed feeling well... So so sorry for her and for your lost! She has been lucky in her life... has had your love and care...!
    Your shots today are very fun! The squirrels make me laught and smile, expecially FREDA and CRAZY KAREN! And HENRY and the joung cardinal, too!! They are fabulous!!
    I'm with Lisa: there is something wrong with people who hurt animals for any reason! They doesn't have love in their hearts. So sad. I hope he breaks his leg and stay at home!!! Go away! Grrrrr.... I'm furious with these horrible persons!!! Does the law allow this to him? The Share isn't a protected zone? Can't you do anything?
    Your card has a so sweet feel... really a delicious and delicate feel! These papers are amazing and love very much the sweet lady with the butterflies... she love the creatures :) Your design is amazing, such a talent!! Adorable shabby style, very romantic and soft!
    Hugs my friend!

  26. Its easy to see why you love the new products, your card looks gorgeous.
    That horrible man with the sling shot should be taken to task, how would he like to be on the receiving end .
    Your photos are wonderful and I love reading your updates on how the squirrels are getting along .

  27. Oh my, those papers really are quite simply gorgeous ... but in your hands they are amazing, your card is wonderful, feminine and the butterflies are delightful!

    The baby Cardinal is so very sweet, just adorable doing her funny little dance. I am so sorry to hear about that horrible man though, I would definitely report him to the RSPCA if he was over here... it should not be allowed... On a happier note, your macro shot is excellent, you really did up your game. Hugs, Anne xx

Your photos are stunning as always I especially love your landscape shot .. so ethereal and so beautiful. Your little friends are always a delight and I cannot fathom that someone is actually going around deliberately to do them harm. It really beggars belief!!

Shame on that man for what he does, but please be careful, Pamellia! People like this are just working up to bigger and better things! REALLY--BE CAREFUL! I adore the cardinal shot and the chickadee eating from your hand...AMAZING! And speaking of amazing, I've never looked at a dried up old leaf and seen such beauty--great shot! Sending you big hugs, my friend!
