Lots of misty days this week as the temperatures start to rise again, and look... the first signs of life with these white flowery bush things! YAY!!

"Hmmm, spring is kind of windy!"

~Mr Nuthatch~

I know spring is definitely here when the Robins arrive!

Can't wait for Robin baby season, my favourite!

"Excuse me!! I'm trying to say something here!!!"

~Gosling~

"I don't know who you are human, but anyone who brings me treats is welcome back any time!"

~a new trail friend~

"Any chance I could get you to drop the bag of peanuts and back away!"

~another new trail friend~

"Alright now, how am I supposed to concentrate on eating my lunch when this wind is blowing my ears off!"

~yet another new trail friend~

...

So many new faces this spring! Guess I'll have to name a few of them!

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.

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.

Summer is just around the  corner, so I am really excited for the upcoming release by Pion Design called "Seaside Stories". Can't wait to see the fun and summery designs!!

The roses and sweetheart blossoms are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the sentiment is stamped with Hero Arts and Pumice Stone distress ink, the bow is Sari silk ribbon, the pearls are from The Ducks Doodahs and everything else is from my stash.

The weather is finally warming up again and I'm hopeful it will continue to stay warm this time!! Just got myself a brand new spanking pair of hiking shoes, so I'm looking forward to finally getting off my butt and getting outside for a walk with my camera. Still using some older photos until then.

How awesome are Pigeons!! I know most people don't like them, but I think they're pretty darned smart to learn to co-exist and thrive with humans in our territory. Now if only we could learn to do the same!

 

Oh my gosh, do you all remember Ginger!! I do hope to run into her again this year!

Handsome little Winston with his stash of peanuts, so funny!

Another friend I hope to discover is alive and well.
