It's been especially gorgeous weather this last week. Not too hot, not too cold and not too windy. Perfect weather for hanging around the patio with Bumper and letting him get used to the crazy noises of the world before he has to fly away and live in it! lol. Hope you all have had great weather too!

Since I didn't have a really good 'knock-me-out-and-blow-me-over' flu in 2017, I decided to start off the new year with a real doozy!! While I spent the week in bed, Mother Nature decided to come and melt all of my pretty snow!! Well too bad lady, I'm gonna share some more winter photos anyhow! lol

Black is the New Black

Hello Everyone!

I don't usually use black on my cards, but I had such a good response to the black and beige Christmas card I made, and it was the first card I sold on Etsy, so I thought I would use the combination again. This card could be used for a wedding or anniversary or for that romantic holiday coming up in February.

Featuring the following papers from Pion Design:

To My Valentine - Valentine's Roses PD6806

To My Valentine - Forever Yours PD6809

To My Valentine - Tags PD6812

The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the filigree hearts are Scrapiniec, the heart die is from a local store, and everything else is from my delicious birthday stash of goodies from Mom!

Continuing with some lovely wintery shots today, although we actually had a big melt this week and lost most of the snow. Hopefully it will get cold again and refresh the world with a whole new blanket of white!

"Well that's odd, the rain is all white and fluffy!" 

~Mr Starling~

How much do I love a Cardinal in any season! 

So gorgeous with all his red and his 'give-it-up-lady' head turn! Lol

The Nuthatches seem to be far and few between this winter, must be the cold temps.

My New Year's resolution is to take more photos of the squirrels that visit every day. I sometimes take for granted those sweet faces because I see them so often, but I don't ever want to overlook one of these precious animals again, they are all my darling friends! 

This is how Baby Charlie is looking nowadays, so cute!!

"I don't think this what my tail was meant for! I'm not an umbrella!" 

~Bernie~

In keeping with my New Year's resolution, I realized I've never posted a photo of Bernie. You all know Busty Bertha, well this is her brother. What a handsome little dude!

OK, so you already know my best bud Crazy Karen, but it's still worth mentioning what a complete dollface she is with her winter coat on, plus, I will never tire of posting her photos!!

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.

The world is finally starting to look more like autumn up here in Canada, and the temperatures are also finally starting to feel more like autumn too. I don't have much in the way of new photos to share, so I thought I would share some from last year that I never had a chance to show you.

Juvenile Sparrow

Male Cardinal

Red Breasted Nuthatch

Some of my friends from The Shire.

October was a difficult month, as I spent much time remembering some special animal friends that I lost last year in October.

My sweet, handsome little MR SCRUFF. One of the few pure black morph squirrels that I've had the pleasure of meeting. He always put on a show with his hilarious antics, funny faces and odd personality. He was my patio buddy and visited me several times a day to gather treats and say hello. Oh how I miss this little dude.

The most unique wild rabbit I have ever seen. HENRY was a domestic rabbit that was dumped in the woods as a baby, and against all odds, he thrived for years in the wild. He was such a beautiful bunny and always smiled for the camera. I  miss our wonderful encounters!

I think we all remember my amazing little friend BON JOVI. She was the first wild animal that I fell in love with and she was the reason I decided to pick up a proper camera. I so looked forward to my visits to The Shire to see her gorgeous face every day. She was so unique, and had a gentle soul. She was super friendly, and always came running as soon as she saw me. I will never forget her and I will never stop missing her.

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.
