As far as the weather goes, I have nothing new to report this week. We had some snow, and then some rain, and then some snow and then some more rain, and more rain, and then MORE rain!!!! I feel like I'm experiencing two completely different seasons at the same time.
So... I have decided to concentrate on my trips up north and the shots that I get during the snowy periods. lol
For my birds today, I have a female Downy Woodpecker...
my token male Cardinal shot...
and a beautiful female House Sparrow...
"Holy crap, you have a whole bag of these! Would be wrong of me to ask for another??"
"Snow snow go away, come again some other day.
Snow snow go away, sun please come, so I can play."
"Yep, it's still wet and it's still cold!"
For my macro today, a branch covered in ice...
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.
Lovely creation with those new papers, songbird collection was the right name for you, too. Great shots of the surroundings, have fun being out and about. Hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteYour snowy scenes are truly beautiful and it is hard not to feel sorry for the gorgeous snow covered squirrels but I guess their thick coats do keep them reasonably warm. Love the macro today, the crackles look fantastic. Hugs, Anne xx

A lot of to see, as in all your cards, and love very much the cute bird with the feathers, the flowers and the delicate green ribbon, the butterflies and the heart charm! A true dream of spring!
Awesome photos!!! The scenery are magical there! How much love the little Downy Woodpecker?? Oh, how cute he is!! And the squirrels make my heart melt... That one that seems praying makes me feel a bit sad.. winter isn't a good season for wild animals.

Oh my goodness, what a gorgeous card, Pamellia! It is simply breathtaking! I can't wait to get my hands on this collection. Sigh!! Fantastic photos also. We have mostly rain here and the occasional small accumulation of snow that's washed away later by rain as well!
ReplyDeletePamellia your cards are always drop dead gorgeous but I have to tell you - I absolutely loved these pictures. May I ask you where you live now?
ReplyDeleteSandy xx
Thanks so much Sandy. Last year we moved out of the city to a little place right on Lake Aquitaine in Mississauga Ontario. That is where all the bird and wildlife photos are taken. The landscape shots shown here today are from my weekend trip a few hours north of here in cottage country.

Pamellia, can I just say this is MY FAVORITE ever Pamellia card! Birds, butterflies and flowers--what more could a girl ask for? I am in shabby heaven here, and I can honestly say my heart beat moved up about 40% when I opened this post! I have been dreaming of making a bird card for a belated birthday card, but nothing in my dreams came even close to being this beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI adore that bird image foremost, but just looking through all the lovely soft layers and seeing the beautiful papers you've used brings such joy! I love your frame layered on the wreath, your beautiful flowers and that shabby heart charm--wow--gorgeous details! Your color choices and entire design is just breath taking!
And then there's the photography! Be still my heart! Love seeing your snow, and especially the beauty of the macro shot. Of the wild life, although I do love birds, I am taken by the squirrel you captured with his eyes shut--how stinkin' adorable! Love, Love, LOVE seeing your beautiful artwork and photography! This really made my day! Sending warm hugs!
Pion had you on mind when theyndesigned these papers, Pamellia!!! Stunning card! So soft and delicate....Love! And more amazingly beautiful pics of birds and squirrels. Love the snow covered trees pics. They're nice to look at as I sit here in 75F degrees enjoying the warm sun. No snow for me. :)
ReplyDeleteOh! Such pure JOY to open your posts, I always leave them to last when opening my emails. The card is pure delight, your attention to detail, the cutting out, I would have to go electric to do it this fine, the flowers, the ribbon, the papers, how delicate are those colours? it all makes me so happy to spend time just taking it all in.
ReplyDeleteTHEN the photos, they are superlative. You mention the macro, well I think ALL of your photos so close up, to me, are near enough macro and so PERFECT. LOVE them all.

My dear friend, at last I can leave you bloggie love! I get torn between wanting to me ultra-timely even if I only a moment.. or waiting until I can properly tell you how much I love your work. :) I chose to wait until I could sit and relax, immersing myself in your sweet creation. I am so eager to get this collection, but do not know when I will. :( Your work with it is gorgeous as ever. The color palette is dreamy. One of my favorite parts of the entire collection is that sweet birdie, so I am delighted to see your use of it! She is perfectly nestled amongst the stunning frame and birthday bouquet.. what could be lovelier? Exquisite design and layering, Pamellia. The heart accent is of course one of my favorite details. You leave no stone uncovered. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for your photographs, they are inspiring beyond description! How I treasure sweet animals and winter's beauty.. your posts fill my heart to overflowing. Thank you for that, my darling friend! Have a beautiful day. And thank you for the endless support. :)
Hugs and blessings,
Karen
Utterly gorgeous card (and so's the one over at the Pion blog today) - those papers are like a spring breeze, gently warming the soul. And what a contrast with your midwinter photos!
ReplyDeleteAlison x
What a wonderful card with the new paper! It's absolutely divine and every time I look at your card I see some more details that I haven't noticed when I first looked. I wonder how it would be if I had it in my hands in real life :o)
ReplyDeleteWe still have lots of snow but it soon will be raining too here and it will be gone. I admit I love snow but only in the mountains and not here in the cities. It's all muddy after a day and when you rush to work you always have to be careful not to fall on your nose and break your neck (which with my luck will soon happen...)!
xxx, Ally
wow what a beautiful beautiful card you have made Pamelia...the bird looks so charming and love the ribbon and the scrumptious looking flowers!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Dr Sonia

ReplyDeleteLove the pics for today. So beautiful! I had to laugh at your song because that is exactly what I am thinking. Hugz to you muffin! ~Doc
