At this point I'm not even going to mention the total lack of snow around here. After I while, even I'm sick of hearing the complaining! lol. Let's just say, these landscape photos were taken while I was up north visiting the parentals.
Back at home I have some bird shots starring this beautiful Mourning Dove...
This handsome Blue Jay...
and I decided to go with a female for my token Cardinal shot...
For those of you who follow my personal Facebook page, you have already met this adorable friend of mine from the lake. I have finally decided to call her TUBBY TESSA, although that name may not fit her in the spring after she loses her winter padding! lol
"I really want one of those cookies, but I have serious concerns about the creature waving it at me!"
"Good grief human! Would you knock it off with the sudden movements please!"
And for my macro today, a little ice and little snow and a little sunshine! The perfect day I say!
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.
Wonderful card, so many beautiful details. Love the photos, Tubby Tessa has a figure like mine! Here we've got freezing fog today, not so nice! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteStunning card with great use of the wonderful papers.
ReplyDeleteThe photographs are terrific and at least you have somewhere to visit that has snow. We haven't had any at all this year so far but we do have frost and fog again--not quite the same eh?
Love Chrissie xx
A very beautiful card Pamellia..love the soft colours,such gorgeous papers and the butterfly is lovely with the frame and flowers..gorgeous.

The snow looks amazing and the birdies look happy to see 'auntie Pamellia' so cute. Love the pion papers, they are stunning on your fabulous design. I found some in my stash yesterday but they are very pale and must be about 5 yrs + old...need to use them maybe..xx{aNNie}
ReplyDeleteGosh that is stunning Pamellia! I love the papers, and you've mixed them perfectly. A stunning creation with so many beautiful little details. Love the gorgeous photos too (as always!) Hugs, Wends xoxo
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the soft colors and the style. It is stunning!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Pamellia!! Wish you a very happy new year(I know it is kind of late but.. ) The beautiful surrounding and stunning nature around you always makes me happy!

Gorgeousness, Pamellia! Pure loveliness, with your delicate layers, colors, trims and laces! I especially like the rose theme, and the framed tiny rose in the middle! Beautiful creation, my sweet friend! Your little wild life friends are the truest of all, aren't they? Risking their very lives, they venture to trust you, Pamellia. You remind me of Snow White and how all the birds and critters delighted in her singing, and longed to be around her. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt seems strange to hear the name "Canada" and not think of snow. We are EXTREMELY warm here. With the exception of 6 days thus far, we have remained in a "cool summer" with very humid weather, lows mostly in the 60s and even the 70s, and highs around 80-83. Very strange indeed.
But like you, I am not complaining. Nature is what she is, and I'm grateful to be comfortable and safe.
Wishing you a happy week - glad you had some special time with "The Parentals" LOL
love,

A beautiful card Pamellia, that white and gold frame sets everything off beautifully. It's so odd re your weather as I had a friend who came home early from a temporary job out there because she could not fave "another" snowy freezing Canadian winter! We still have very frosty weather, it's about where it should be for our January. Lovely wildlife photos as always. It's great seeing birds we don't have here in the UK. Have a great week, hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card hun, loving the shaped layering and fabulous frame effect, it's back to being cold here, frost as usual no snow!!! loving your snow pictures and of course the awesome wildlife too, hugs Liz xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and romantic card today, the pretty pinks, beautiful roses and ribbons and all the gorgeous lace give it such a soft feminine look, that frame is stunning!
ReplyDeleteVery cold and frosty here but beautiful blue sky and bright sunshine, perfect day for a brisk walk!

Absolutely GORGEOUS, love the pink and green and all the so beautiful details. The photos of the snow, make me think of Winter, we are having it quite mildish with short spells of cold, so I can experience the snow with you. A FABULOUS post to stay and enjoy.

Someone is going to cherish this card! Love all the softness you've created with the layers. Stunning pics again today. I might have to learn how to paint birds because your pics of them are amazing. One just wants to reach out and touch their fluffiness! TFS!

Super gorgeous Pamellia. Sending you influenza hugs, Veerle
ReplyDeleteAmazing card and photo's today Pamellia. Each one of your beautiful projects has so many lovely layers and elements in it's design I just love to look at them.
ReplyDeleteLorraine
Glorious as always. Beautiful colour way on your amazing card. Fabulous photos and glad to meet the new adorable squirrel ...Tubby Tessa x
ReplyDeleteA stunning shabby card with breath taking close ups of the delicious details! Love the layers (as always) especially the corrugated one and that fabulous enameled frame with the rose within. Lovely laces, pearls, blossoms and delicate butterfly! All such wonderful details that add up to the most gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are FABULOUS! I am loving seeing all the snow and how it glistens in the sunlight, especially in your macro shot! Always love seeing your furry and feathered friends; I think the female is even a more beautiful version of her male counterpart! We got to see some painted buntings and other amazing wildlife in Florida! And my niece gave me some photography tips! I certainly can see why you love photography so much! Sending hugs!
Luscious card, Pamellia - it reminds me of the beautiful confections we used to get at a French bakery when I was growing up; I never wanted to eat them, because they were so incredible! So two thoughts: first, would you pretty-please consider some videos or step-outs or something to show how you think about putting something together? No one will come close to your actual style, but I (and I am sure others) could sure use some of your expertise! Second, your photography would make a fabulous children's book, as would the squirrel gallery..... please tuck it into your head somewhere, friend - you have so much to offer!! xxx Lynn
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend, I am so grateful to be here tonight! Your posts fill my heart with strength and sunshine. Your card couldn't be lovelier. The paper collections work together so beautifully and I am enamored with the way you create layers. To this day I remain mesmerized by your style. The flowers and trims are delightful and I love the layered butterfly and focal point. You are so talented and I am forever grateful! :)
ReplyDeleteAs always, your photography is stunning beyond description. You are a woman of many talents, my dear Pamellia! We are blessed to experience the art you create. :)
Hugs and blessings,
Karen
Love today's card!! So beautiful. Love love love your birds and squirrels!
ReplyDeleteWow, Pamellia, I love your card! That enamel shabby frame is amazing and love how it's match your breathtakingly beautiful flower arrangement! I could stare at this beauty for hours!
ReplyDeleteYour photography is spectacular and I love every single shot you posted here! Actually, I love all the photos you ever posted! That macro one is unbeliveably stunning! Bravo! Big hugs! Branka xx
Such a fabulous vintage look to this one - ornate and opulent - definitely high Victorian! Love the blue jay and the cardinal, and the squirrels enchant me always. Fabulous macro ice too!
ReplyDeleteAlison x
Ahhhhh! This design looks like something that would be in the house of a Queen, on her vanity while she is brushing her hair and thinking about her Prince Charming. Gorgeously stunning! Opulence at its best and finest dear Bubbles! Bravo on merging the paper lines so seamlessly. Your pictures capture the essence of these magnificent creatures and are so wonderous. I second children's squirrel book! Awesome sauce idea! Hugz to you muffin! ~Doc
