I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. It's been quite windy outside this week. I can see my gazebo canopy whipping all over the place, which makes me worry about my sweet little squirrels that have taken up residence in the corner folds. Poor little things!
My landscape photos today are some icy shots from my trip up north...
For my birds today, I have this beautiful female Sparrow all puffed up in an effort to stay warm...
My token male Cardinal shot. I was only a few yards away from him and he didn't seem to mind!
A sweet little Red Breasted Nuthatch grabbing some lunch from my hand...
I don't see the ducks here any more, but I caught a pic of this fellow the day I walked over to the other lake...
CRAZY KAREN:
"You're just going to stand there and watch me eat, aren't you! Silly human!"
This is one of the twins. Can't tell them apart, we named them Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. lol
"Yeah yeah, I'm cute, whatever.
Just keep the peanuts coming, I'm a snowball with ears over here"
PATRICIA:
"OMG, the buffet is so busy! Not big on crowds, think I'll wait up here 'til the dinner rush is over."
For my macro today, a pine branch and new pine cone buds completely encased 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.

Oh Pamellia! I have scrolled through this twice already but will be going back to look at those gorgeous birds again! Your yellow masterpiece is so gorgeous and great to remind us that Spring is surely around the corner, although that snow looks c-o-l-d! We may well see snow here this weekend! Fabulous macro shot! Hugs, Chrisx

I tend to steer away from yellow too, but it of course looks beautiful in your hands - soft sunshine evoking for sure on your gorgeous card. Terrific pics! Nicola x
ReplyDeleteI really like yellow cards, they remind me of sunshine and warm sunny afternoons. This one is simply gorgeous, with your beautiful birds nest and lovely flowers it reminds me of spring and new beginnings. All of the whispy bits give it a very romantic look.
ReplyDeleteWonderful wintery shots, I love the way you have shot up through your macro shot and have the blue sky behind, it looks incredible.
Dionne xx
Beautiful beautiful card Pamellia - love that beautiful shade of yellow too.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are as ever beautiful - the photo of the iced pine cones (now that sounds like dish of some sort) is exquisite.
Blessings

Pamellia, this card is sunshine in paper for me on this stormy morning! As always, you've made a gorgeous design and picked just the perfect embellishments! Love that sweet little nest and 'eggs', your hand made pins and the lacy bits! Your flowing blossoms look amazing, and I'm just sighing with the beauty of it all!
ReplyDeleteAs always, I'm thrilled to see your photography, with your landscape shots being most spectacular! Karen, Matt/Ben, and Patricia are just snugglebuns! And of course, I adore the shot of the nut hatch eating from your hand! Amazing! I have a couple of house wrens already starting to look for a good place to nest in my garage! Spring can't be far off! Sending warm hugs to you, my friend!
Your photos absolutely mesmerize me Pamellia!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you have the Nuthatch eating from your hand, well, yes I can, i saw the photo! Don't you love their sounds they make? We have several at our feeder and they remind me of little robots the way they work their way down to the feed!
Your posts always make me smile and bring joy to my heart,s did your comments on my post, thank you dear friend <3
love & hugs,Jackie ")
This card is a bit different - or so it seems to me - pattern wise. I like the way you left space at the top and bottom and ran the flowers in a little dance pattern across the middle sideways like! Don't you love my proper card design language - ehehheheh - but maybe you get my meaning! Anyway - it just seems more gentle and sweet and open. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, your babies are so precious. That sparrow is so amazing to see all puffed up with it's feather hanging over the branch to assure no cold air gets in that way either!! And I don't know why but Patricia always makes me smile - well - they all do but she is so shy but nosey. Like the neighbor behind the curtain - across the street!!!!
Thanks bunches for the delightful post Pamellia. Thinking of you. Oh and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY too!! Xj.
Gorgeous card as we would expect Lol! The photographs are brilliant too. Happy crafty week, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see yellow, I think of Spring and daffodils..., so your card makes me feel a little brighter today - we even had a bit of sunshine today so that's an extra bonus! Your card is exquisite with the wonderful layering and I just love that little bird nest with the eggs! Gorgeous shots today, the Cardinal looks so beautiful and your macro today is amazing! Hugs, Anne xx

Hi Pamellia
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely pastel shade so works so beautifully with your designs.
Having to play referee with our bird visitors as the Mistle Thrushes are swooping in and frightening everything else.
Best wishes.
