Frilly and Funkie - Be My Valentine

Hello Everyone!

It's time for another challenge over at Frilly and Funkie. This time Zoe is the hostess and she has chosen the theme "Be My Valentine".

Sadly, this will be my last challenge with Frilly and Funkie. I have really enjoyed the two years I have spent as a team member there, but as I'm sure you all know, crafting sometimes has to take a back seat for a while. I'm so thankful to Linda and Jenny for being so supportive over the last two years, what wonderful leaders and amazing artists they both are. I wish them all the best for whatever the future brings them.

All of the following products that I used can be purchased at The Funkie Junkie Boutique:

My landscape photos today were taken here at the lake back in December when we had our first snowfall and our first freeze. I miss the lovely December weather.

For my birds today I have this sweet Black Capped Chickadee...

my token male Cardinal shot...

a female House Sparrow...

MISSY:

"Winter isn't so bad. You just gotta close your eyes and pretend you're on the beach. Yum, Peanut-Colada! 

MR CHUBB:

"All I see here are mushrooms and grapes! Pleeeeeease tell me you didn't take peanuts off the menu!"

TUBBY TESSA:

"Hey, what can I say, just living up to my name!"

For my macro today, some frozen pine needles from up north.

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.

Our winter seems to have fizzled out already this year. It was short lived, but I enjoyed every snowflake while it was here. Nothing but rain predicted for the next two weeks, so I'm falling back on photos from one of my walks earlier in the season.

Tell me I didn't stumbled across the door to NARNIA!! Hellloooo!

For my birds today, I have this gorgeous Starling with her winter plumage...

my token male Cardinal shot...

Blue Jays just look so beautiful in the falling snow!

Out by the lake, MISSY is still hiding behind a tree. I hope she comes out to visit me someday.

From the balcony, my sweet friend MR CHUBB says hello with those darling eyes of his!

"Oh my gosh, I'm first in line for the buffet! How lucky am I!"

I thought you might enjoy a little update on the baby squirrel that came to me last May and grew up on my balcony. Here is our little buddy JUNIOR, who still hangs around when he gets a craving for peanut butter! Oh how I miss this little dude!

For my macro today, a pine needle totally encased in ice. So cool!!
