Well that 10 cm of snow we were supposed to get on Saturday, actually ended up coming on Sunday. It was really amazing, and I spent several hours outside taking photos. It has mostly melted now, but I sure did enjoy our snow day while it lasted!!
In honour of the special day today, I thought I would include these two lovebird Starlings...
and, this obviously married couple of Sparrows...
"What did you just say to me!!!"
A sweet Chickadee waiting for me to pull out my bag of goodies...
and a female Sparrow watching as I feed the other birds. I think she's sizing me up!
You all know my best bud Crazy Karen. She is smart and fast and quite the funny girl. She hangs from the screen, eats from my hand and smiles to say thank you. She's been visiting me since I moved here and she's the only one left of my original squirrel visitors. She has a hard life and so I dedicate this post to her health and well being...
~Crazy Karen~
"Go ahead, snow all you want! You're not going to stop me from eating my walnut!"
~Busty Bertha~ (who is actually a boy, oops)
"I'm just going to pretend I DON'T see this snow falling right now!"
~Rocky~
"My Mother always warned me that my face would freeze like that!!"
For my macro today, a branch with some ice and snow. Oh how pretty is winter time!
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 VALENTINE'S DAY!!! ❤❤
Gorgeous and ver luxurious card, love the colours, too. Wonderful snow photos, but I must admit I am happy now that the snow has gone - today it's bright and sunny but with a biting wind. Have a fun day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh, my Gosh, Pamellia! There must be a dozen layers to this lovely Valentine's Day card! How beautiful are these papers carved into this delicious greeting! You have brought them to life with your doilies, lace, die cuts, bits of cheesecloth, clay hearts, pearls, stick pins, and gorgeous flowers! What a breath taking card!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your snow, and those sweet squirrels! The "love" bird shots are my favorites this time especially the captioned one that certainly MUST be a married couple! Ok, I see the next step for you to be to write a book using your photos and captions! They are hilarious! Happy Valentine's Day to you, sweetie!
You have such a gift in making cards and taking photos, Pamellia! The card is gorgeous, of course! Yay! I'm so glad you got snow! Love those sweet little critters.

Oh Pamellia, such a romantic and vibrant card!! Love these roses! The swirls matches very well with them! And the label with that sentiment is just adorable!! Amazing piece of lace, too, and all the others fab details!
ReplyDeleteSthe snow in your landscape photos is just magical, such a peace feel it has! Great macro, too!
Adorable birdies and poor squirrels... snow for them isn't fun as it is for you. The birds seem take less snow on them. Crazy Karen is a delicious little girl, I remember her very well!! Instead I didn't remember to have seen Busty Bertha and Rocky. Welcome! :D Hope that they go quickly in their homes in the trees after launch! Brrrrr!
I have a lot of cought and fever... I'm feeling no well in these days.
Hugs
Beautiful card Pamellia! Happy Valentine!

Hi sweetie
ReplyDeleteYour card is a masterpiece just like all your cards are. I can't stop looking at it and the vibrant colours (which I adore too), especially red is one of my faves.
I so love your stories of the animals and I love the names you give them. I hope especially Crazy Karen will be with you for a long time (I have no idea how old squirrels get). Awesome shots!
xxx, Ally
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous card. Sooo romantic and just perfect for Valentine's Day. All of those beautiful elements, the papers and the wonderful red roses and the lace, the layers and the whispy bits. Gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, what about that snow? How excited must you have been? I LOVE your first snowy pic, the wonderful black and white scene with just the bench in colour, it almost looks like you hand painted it. So silent and serene, great composition. Also, such wonderful shots of the wildlife.
I hope you have another wonderful weekend.
