The weather here has been perfect for long walks, so I have been taking trips to my neighbour lake and I have discovered several new birds! What a complete thrill to see an animal for the first time, and an even bigger thrill to capture it with my camera! Here is a Ruby Crowned Kinglet. He is wicked small, wicked fast and wicked cute! I didn't even know these birds existed, how cool is that.

It's been a wonderful start to the season this year. I saw my first ever Swan up close! Absolutely amazing birds, and much bigger than I realized!
"Oh this is so gross, I think I just swallowed a bug!"
~The General~
"Haha! Oh human, you make me laugh with your silly jokes! Go on then, tell me another one!"
~Leanne~
"Are you almost done following me around with that camera? I really need to bury this peanut in a top secret place!"
~Princess Tabitha~
How excited am I to find a new Red Squirrel friend out in The Briar Patch! With the help of some IG friends, she has been named Ginger! I look forward to seeing her again.
Everyone please keep Pepe Le Pew in your thoughts. He is still struggling to recover from the severe head wounds he suffered at the hands of a neighbourhood cat. I'm watching him closely and will scoop him up if he's in distress, but I would like him to heal up on his own if possible. This is an older shot, before the attack...
"Did you just take a picture of my butt? Don't deny it, I heard the camera click!"
~Pepe Le Pew~
I'm so excited to be entering my first springtime with the macro lens!! I can't wait to see what kinds of things I can find to zoom in on, like this new pine tree growth. Looks kind of sticky...
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.
Love the card, I love how you use so many embellishments and it looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour wildlife pics are super, xxx
Gorgeous layering on your amazing card. Love the colours and as always so much to admire. Fabulous photos...My thoughts are with Pepe x Cute photos and fun sayings etc. Glad you have another bird species to add to your list, hadn't heard of them either. We get a lot of swans near where I live and yes they are amazing creatures x
ReplyDeleteWonderful card and photos. Glad you are enjoying a break and discovering new friends, that's always very exciting. I went to the zoo yesterday, and had a fun time there. Hugs, Valerie

Its a gorgeous card and its good to see you back.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your photos as well and the stories you add to make the animals and birds all seem so real. Yes I know they are, but the words always add to the pleasure of seeing them.

Another amazing creation, Pamellia!! This card is absolutely gorgous with this colour scheme and the fab design!! The heart doily looks delicious on the red corrugated panel and LOVE all the precious details! Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have enjoyed your break, and I think the answer is yes :D
I have never seen a Ruby Crowned Kinglet, but he remembers me the European "Cardellino". He's really cute and tiny! The cardinal (if the red bird is a cardinal, I'm not sure) made me laught!! Such a fun guy!! :D Lovely swan (here there are a lot of them at the mouths of the streams, even in the city) and your photo with the water is amazing!
Fun rabbit and Leanne! Princess Tabitha and Ginger are sooo cute! So sorry for Pepe Le Pew, hope that him can have his health again!! Fab macro, your skills are going up and up my friend!
Another stunning card, beautifully designed and perfect for a romantic occassion. I love the colours you have used, the gold looks fabulous against the red.
ReplyDeleteWonderful wildlife shots, cute little Ruby Crowned Kinglet - a first of me and I love the close up of the swan (I know somewhere where they will eat from your hand and let you stroke them!) but my favourite is the red squirrel, she is super cute.
Dionne xx
WOW~So stunning! I love all the fun layers! The patterns are so pretty and oh my gosh, is that heart beautiful! So delicate! All the fun details are amazing..the charm, pins all of it is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening!

Hi dear Pamellia, how good to see your post. What a pretty card, that rich red works perfectly with all the hearts and fab textures. It's good to see that spring is now with you and that you managed to see a swan close up...our pair have flown to other climes to breed again this year, no doubt that will be back to the ponds soon. Sending my best wishes and huge hugs to you, take care xxx
ReplyDeleteC'est une très jolie carte! c'est toujours un plaisir d'admirer vos photos d'animaux,je les aime beaucoup!
ReplyDeleteYour card is just divine and your photos are beyond amazing. Sending healing vibes. Cara x
ReplyDeleteThose papers are truly beautiful and your card is just stunning - beautiful layering, wonderful design - love it so much!!
ReplyDeleteGreat animal and bird shots too, that new little Kinglit bird is just adorable! So sorry to hear about Pepe le Pew, I hope he stays safe and heals well... Ginger is beautiful and I really do love your macro shot today! Hugs, Anne xxx
Pamellia, you know me...I was starting to worry when I hadn't seen a My Little Craft Things e-mail pop up. But Yippeee, you're BAAAACK! And what a wonderful card to make my day! I love the delicate die cut heart, the stickpins, the dainty flowers, and the tiniest butterfly! Gorgeous make, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE seeing all your wonderful shots of the birds and furry friends and had the biggest giggle over Red Stewart and The General. What amazing shots you have gotten of all the flora and fauna-even that sticky icky shot of the pine tree. So sorry Pepe le Pew was attacked by that cat--they can do some damage. I hope he heals and you are smart to allow him to try to mend on his own, but so loving to be there to help him should he not succeed.
Ginger is the sweetest! I have so enjoyed my visit here today--thank you for blessing my day! Sending hugs!
its gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Pamellia. Love the fancy diecuts. I do hope Pepe recovers quickly. Love your photos. The expression on the rabbit is priceless!

I'm wowed by the color combo on this card - so unique and intriguing.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful you are there for Pepe... and I laughed out loud at The General!! Always the high point of my week to share time with you and your family Pamellia. Xj.
Hi Pamellia,
ReplyDeleteso glad you had a good break.
Your card is again so stunning and a very super design too.
Love the colour choices and the beautiful papers used.
Gorgeous and super flowers and pin.
Oh my your photos are again outstanding as superb.
Your furry and feathered friends are so wonderful.
I do hope Pepe recovers how dreadful, and worrying for you.
I was cleaning my silk flower arrangement in the garden the other day, and saw the most wonderful little bird on my bird bath not seen one like it before it was balck and red.
I can't believe he sat there chirping not far from me as I was cleaning the dust from the arrangement with a cold setting on my hairdryer, and he wasnt perturbed one bit.
The arrangement is rather large one my mother made years ago and I can't part with it.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
forgot to say I wish I had had a camera by my side.
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning creation Pamellia, beautiful layers of gorgeous papers, love the heart, look`s like one I have and used once!! your flowers and embellishments are perfect.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo shots.
Hugs Pam x

I love the combination of papers and colours you brought together in this beautiful design Pamellia. How wonderful to see and capture a photograph of something new and I had a real giggle at Red Stewart (the real Rod is one of my all time favourite artists). Sending healing thoughts for Pepe.
