I think it's safe to say that summer is officially over. The cold weather has set in here unseasonably early and the leaves are already starting to turn. I can't wait to get some beautiful orange and red colours into my photographs, but until then I will share some photos still rich with greens.
Sweet sweet Chickadee. One of the bonuses of summer coming to an end are these wee birds!
Not too often I would use the expression 'ruggedly handsome' to describe a bird, but I think it's a pretty accurate description of this majestic Cardinal!
My encounter with this gorgeous Heron a few weeks ago was one of my favourite experiences so far as a wildlife photographer (second only to the baby raccoon friend I made!) what a fascinating bird to watch!

"Dang it lady! I come up in the tree to get away from you humans, and here you are!"
~The Cookie Monster~
This is my new little friend. For the last few weeks he has visited me almost every day. He has learned to trust me and eats right out of my hand. He is so sweet and charming, I will miss him when he tucks in for the winter.

One Eyed Willamina having some breakfast in the field of flowers next to her tree. I can't think of a more perfect spot for such a beautiful girl! Stay gorgeous Willy!
I didn't get much of a chance this summer to practice my macro shots, but I did take a few of the flowers out on the patio. I mean, how often do you get a chance to look at a flower bud this closely! This is a Verbena bud up close and personal!
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.
GORGEOUS CARD AND WONDERFUL PHOTOS OF YOUR FEATHERED AND FURRY FRIENDS! HUGS, VAERIE
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Pamellia, what a beautiful layered and shaped card! I love those papers, and your pearl dots around each of the layers is such a great touch, and must have taken hours and a very steady hand! The lace band and floral spray is breath taking, and the butterfly with the jeweled body is the perfect finishing touch! Love this card, and truly a new favorite! Thank you for making my day!
ReplyDeleteI never tire of seeing your wildlife photography, and that heron is certainly an impressive find! And I've never really seen a verbena quite from that view point. I just love seeing all your wildlife photos and enjoy the captions! Sending you great big hugs!
Gorgeous card! I love the colours and all the wonderful layers! Fantastic photos too, as always.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very beautiful card, more wonderful paper and you have so many gorgeous layers.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your photos of the animals and birds, today's look wonderful.

ReplyDeleteOh wow, your card is absolutely stunning, Pamellia!! You truly showcase the papers to perfection!! I love the layers and the amazing details you add!! It truly takes me so long to comment because I'm studying the pictures!! I don't want to miss anything!! Love, love it so much!!
ReplyDeleteYour nature shots continue to blow me away!! The birds are incredible!! The heron is gorgeous!! I love all of the sweet squirrels!! But the precious raccoon has stolen my heart!! My most prized possession is a stuffed raccoon I've had since birth, so they always have a special place in my heart (even when they are eating my outdoor kitties' food ;) And that macro is amazing!! I hope you are doing well, my dear friend!! It's been chilly here, too. Fall is coming way too fast for me. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!! Big hugs :)

An incredibly gorgeous card Pamellia, the papers are beautiful, I love the shaped elements and the design is just superb!
ReplyDeleteYour photography is always breathtaking, I am so glad you have made friends with the beautiful little raccoon, who is adorable. The squirrels all look in great shape at the moment. I would never have guessed that bud was a Verbena - it is gorgeous!! Hugs, Anne xx
Stunning papers and stunning card, so very beautiful and pretty. Love the layering and all the pretty elements. Thank you as ever for sharing your stunning photos and adding the fun captions x The little chickadee and red cardinal look amazing! (don't tell the others as they will get jealous as they are all my favourites x).
ReplyDeleteWonderful papers and colors, Pamellia, I always love rich tones and think that brown plus pink is very sweet feminine!! Love the shape of the layers and their distressed edges! And such amazing flowers! That lovely butterfly on the flower seems true!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your photos, they are a joy for me! :) The Chickadee is the cutest bird!! In my zone there are some Herons as this, they are majestic when fly, and so big! :) That bunny is adorable, but the most cute is the baby raccoon!!! Soooo sweet with those black eyes and that fur!!! I would cuddle him (or her? Who knows...) You and him are so lucky to have a friendship! :D
Princess Tabitha is very fun with that face! And such sweeties are the other squirrels, especially One Eyed Willamina!
Big hugs, enjoy your days with the wild friends and the warm colors of fall!
Your card is lovely Pammelia, as always!!!!!!!

Gorgeous matted layers - great work with the new papers. And your photography is, as always, spectacular. Your new balcony room has clearly given you an even better vantage point to capture the creatures of the wood in all their life and variety. How lovely to have made friends with the raccoon - adorable!

ReplyDeleteFabulous card my friend. Gorgeous florals and lace and just look at all of those layers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nature shots, it is impossible to pick a favourite but your macro needs to be mentions, wow girl, look at those tiny, tiny moisture bubbles stuck in the spines/hairs (not sure what to call them).
Have a great weekend.
