And the heat wave continues. This is as hot as it's been all summer. So hot, that we've closed the outer door, something we've only done once before, since we moved to the new place. Humidity is the 90% range making it difficult to enjoy the outdoors. And here I was thinking we were going to get an early winter, so silly of me! lol
I don't often get the chance to capture a Dove perched in the trees, they spend most of their time on the ground. Such beautiful birds!

~Cardinal vs Blackbird~
How excited was I to see my first ever Quail, and this Gambel's Quail sure was a fun one to watch!
Has anyone ever seen the tv show called "Zoo"? On one hand, how creepy and scary. On the other hand, we totally deserve it, don't we! I've often wondered what some of my wildlife friends would do on an episode of this show? I mean, what would a mob of angry bunnies look like, really?
This is a sweet little visitor I named Porter, you met him back in July. He has a fabulous orange tail and frosted orange tips on his fur! I do hope he visits again some time soon!
Hey Baby Kay! You're supposed to eat out of the dish, not sit inside it! Silly kids!
"OK lady, that's the worst disguise ever, you don't even look like grass!"

My little buddy Rusty, escaping the heat in the shade of the tree leaves.
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.

I wish there was such a thing as touch-a-vision so I could reach in and check out firsthand your beautiful cards. That's just me--I like to feel all the textures and layers in amazing things like your cards. We also are having awful summer heat still but I hear the weekend will be more seasonal. Love that photo of Baby Kay sitting in the dish.

What gorgeous paper - and a wonderful creations Pamellia.
ReplyDeleteYour bird photos are amazing - especially the Cardinal and the Blackbird!! I love quail too, and where I grew up they were often seen, along with pheasants. Your squirrels are as entertaining as ever,
Blessings

Once again, you've amazed me with your card making skills and eye for design and color! Those papers are gorgeous and you have made them breath taking! I love your layered die cuts and all those fluffy foliage die cuts to show off those amazing flowers and sprigs! So pretty and cooling for those hot humid days. I do feel for you, Pamellia! When are we going to get some relief?! I have totally neglected my garden this season due to the intolerable heat.
ReplyDeleteYour wildlife shots tickle me pink...I especially love the cardinal and blackbird cuttin' some rug! Amazing photography! Sending your great big hugs and some extra air conditioning! I do hope you get some fall weather soon! It's cooling here in the evenings, but the humidity is so high, I still come home dripping wet from a night time walk.
I agree blue isn't just for boys, the delicate colour with white, the beautiful paper and beautiful details make this another of your Stunning cards, so very beautiful in all ways. THEN! your photographs just so professional with wonderful quotes with them making a little story of each. Have a wonderful week, hope the temperatures get better for you to enjoy.

Totally stunning, so feminine and delicate... the papers are gorgeous but your design really does bring it to life!
ReplyDeleteI do watch the Zoo and have to agree with you, I dread to think what would happen if the animals took over - and who could blame them?? I saw from watching the Invictus Games that it is hot with you at the moment, I think you might be having the Indian Summer that we were promised.... and has yet to arrive.
As always your beautiful creature shots are just amazing, I love Rusty and the Quail is so lovely!!! Hope the weather settles for you soon. Hugs, Anne xx
Stunning piece, I love the delicacy of these papers. The butterfly is stunning and I love the addition of the pearls and as always your flowers are the perfect accompaniment. Adore your nature shots too, really uplifting. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteYour card is just stunning!! I seriously think you should be designing for a major company Pamellia!!
ReplyDeleteAgain, your photos crack me up- always the best captions with them! The Dance is probably my favorite this week! heehee
sending hugs,Jackie xo
Another stunning work of art. Loving the wildlife photos. I don't know about a mob of angry bunnies, but a nethie bun who's annoyed with you is scary, especially when they turn their back to you and show you the bunny bum of disgust!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning design! love the cream/blues and gorgeous layerings! Wonderful photos too!
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia. I actually don't think any of them have black eyes, they just look black at certain angles. When the light hits a squirrel, you can see that they have light brown eyes and so do most birds. It's just that I usually don't take pictures of them when they are in the sunlight because it causes harsh shadows. I will try and find a couple of photos and post them next week so you can see. Keep your eyes open for that. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteOh boy, what a fabulous card, I love those colour combinations and lots and lots of terrific layers, topped with all of those beautiful flowers. This is a stunning creation.
ReplyDeleteKeep all of your wildlife shots coming, I enjoy seeing them so much.

Such pretty blue Pamellia on your gorgeous card. Blue is my favourite colour. How crazy is your weather but enjoy it with your furry friends while it lasts. Take care Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteThe colour palette of this card makes me happy - so gentle and serene and pretty. Amazing birds today - what a haul for a "twitcher" (slang for a birdwatcher in this country, but maybe not where you are?!).
