Look what I found...

I don't like the big ones eating my garden but this one was so small and cute. He was chasing robins and cardinals in my backyard. They were way bigger than him and he was having a grand time of it. The birds seemed a bit perturbed. lol! Especially the robin who was trying to listen for it's dinner and kept getting interrupted by this tiny bunny bouncing around her.

I wish I would have had my video camera.
OMG! Look at those cute little ears.

Indigo Dream

May has just been bird month for me. I haven't done much art but found some living art in my yard. ;)

O la la...

Indigo Buntings.



My regular readers know how I just love royal blue. Just imagine what I did when these guys came to my feeder!

Winter?

OMG! I woke up this morning and this is what I saw...



Our first snow. I hope it's not a sign of the winter to come. Our first snow last year was Dec. 3rd. That was the year we had the most recorded snow ever. I don't think I'm quite recovered from that. :O

I usually really like the first snow and winter weather until around January 5th. Then I'm done and want spring to come. Snow and sun together is just gorgeous. The long winter, gray skies, and cold that accompany it here in the Midwest is just so depressing.

I've decided to just pretend the first snow didn't happen yet. Here's a nice fiery mandala to heat things back up. ;)
I've also listed it for sale in my Etsy shop.
Cheers.

Little Alien

Here's another creature from my backyard. I swear he looks like he's from a science fiction film.

Fall textures

I like finding the hidden beauty and wonder in ordinary places. The day I took this had perfect light for photography. Love those days!

Fall Harvest

This is looking out my back windows this past Saturday. I love fall...and I'm finally getting into the spirit of the season. It's starting to feel like halloween is coming...with witches and werewolves out at night. I saw the most excellent moon last night! All blue and purple with wispy clouds moving across it.

This weekend I gathered some apples from our tree. We don't do anything to it...except an occasional prune. The apples aren't pretty but they are all organic and make for excellent drying fodder! We had a banner year for our old tree. It's just covered in these green apples. Our backyard smells heavenly.

I brought some pics to the library on a jump drive... No my computer is not fixed yet. :(

Fairies

It seems some types of fairies love color.

I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful- A faery's child,
Her hair was long her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.

Garden Nymph

I took this photograph 2 years ago when there were 4 of these nude nymphs guarding my garden. They were very vigilant...staying out there day and night. And I never caught them napping...they always had their eyes open. After a year with no time off, we decided it would be best if they took a permanent vacation.

It's still summer!

It's still summer and warm out. Thank you very much.

And to prove it I took my snakes for a photo shoot outside. At first they weren't sure they liked the grass.
But soon decided there were no elephants around to step on them.
So loosened up.

Edible & Spicy

The nasturtium is one of the wonderful edible flowers of the world.
A salad with flowers on it is hard to beat.

Edible, Spicy, Beautiful; Nasturtium.
