Laces and Lilac for Mom

Hello Everyone!

Today I am sharing another Mother's Day card with you. This one was made with papers from Lemoncraft and Pion Design. I think my new favourite colour may be purple!! 









***
I have really enjoyed being back out on my walks again! I saw so many wonderful things this week, and the grass is starting to turn a bright green! Now if I could just get the nurseries to open so I could set up my patio and get this summer started!! 


A Blue Jay...


Did you know that the Starling gradually loses the white tips of their feathers as we head into summer, and they are a dark iridescent black until next autumn? It's nature amazing!!


Look Ma, one foot!! ~cute little gosling~


"Errrrrrrrr, are you looking at me? You can see me? Even in all this grass, dang!"
~a trail friend~


"Why do they always have to put the branches so far apart! Don't they know how little I am!"
~my new red-headed friend~


I would like everyone to meet a very special new friend of mine. I have named him Dale and he is a really unique little fellow! He has orange fur like a mohawk that extends from the top of his head right down to his tail! Even his skin is two different colours! He's molting right now, so I'm looking forward to seeing him with a full coat of fur!

Am I crazy, or this guy possibly a relative of my beloved Bon Jovi?


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.

  15. Your Mother's Day card really is beautiful, the purple colour really is wonderful, especially the lovely butterfly!

    The colour of your new friend is amazing, hopefully he will keep that red once he moults fully! We are experiencing an early 'summer' here, I truly hope it is not the only one we are going to see this year! Hugs, Anne xx

  16. Oh my goodness, amazing!! It's so shabb-tacular, Pamellia!! The layers are amazing!! The laces are so stunning and I love the purple!! It's absolutely gorgeous and I love, love it!!

    Oh, Dale, the Bon Jovi relative is so adorable!! So is your new red-headed friend!! The gosling is so sweet!! My telephoto lens broke and I had to send it in for repair. It figures it would happen now when my yard is inundated with Grosbeaks and Orioles and bluebirds!! I got a few good shots of the Orioles since they are eating from my hummer feeders, but not many good ones of the Grosbeaks or bluebirds. I'm afraid they will all move on before I get my lens back :( I hope you have a wonderful new week, my friend!! Happy Sunday!! Big hugs :)

    I think your red squirrels must be a relative of our red squirrels in the UK LOL. Fab piccies, so glad you are out once again. Our "Garden Centres" are full of wonderful new and wonderful plants all ready to plant into our garden, it's starting to look like Spring, BUT colder temps are back for the end of the week, so I hope they are not spoiled.
