First Snow

The first snow fall is so pretty.  I love how the first snow blankets everything in a clean, white layer of sparkle.

I'm joining Texture Tuesday today with another bird photo.  I used two layers of Kim's "0212" texture - I love the edges of this texture.

I hope that you are having a fabulous day!

Be wonderfully odd!

Friday Hawk

This morning I was surprised to see this large bird sitting in a tree near our bird feeders.  I think that it is a hawk - but I'm not sure.  Do you know?

He (or she) didn't mind my presence or that I walked around the tree snapping photos of him.  I was hoping to catch him spreading his wings and then fly away - but he was contented to sit in our tree.

I love the orangey red color on the neck and breast, and also the black and white strips in his tail.  And look at that powerful beak and size of the claws!

Just so beautiful.

Have a great Friday!

Winter Squirrel

My sister tells me that the squirrels that visit my yard are chubby - I think that it is just fluffy winter fur (or big bones, ha!).

I'm joining Texture Tuesday with a photo of one of those "chubby" squirrels.  I layered this image with one layer of Kim Klassen's BB2 texture.  (There is also one layer of a texture called wordless.)

I hope that you are having a great day!

Be wonderfully odd!

Sweet bird

I’m joining Texture Tuesday with a photo of a sweet bird.

It was a beautiful summer day and I was out taking pictures of our late summer blooms.  I looked up and spotted this cutie watching me as I worked.

She sat for the longest time and allowed me to take a bunch of photos of her.

 

I used two layers of Kim Klassen's Bestill texture on this image.

Can you see all of the bark shreds hanging off of the branch?  The squirrels have been busy nesting again.

Have a great day!
