This brilliant red flame caught my eye outside the studio window perched at the feeder. While watching I noticed the female Cardinal up in the evergreen along with two little babies, fluttering her wings around them with a gentle nudge to get down on the feeder and eat.
This little one looked to be a bit rumpled like he was fresh out of momma’s oven. He has a lot of red coloring so I’m assuming here that this one is a male.
The other a female, had flown down to a plastic lid sat a-top a tree stump for a mini birdbath. They’re such a joy to watch what a beautiful bird.
Stay well my friend and have a blessed week!
I purchased these 7 black frames in various sizes at the Goodwill Store for 1.99 each, and framed a few of my photos. The frames are all in good condition with easy access to freely interchange the photographs. I don’t believe I will ever again go to the local retail store to purchase a frame. Sweet score!
Happy Monday and stay well my friend!
Yesterdays long over due rain shower left this gorgeous deep red daylily for me this morning.It’s such a beautiful deep ruby red color peeking up to the sun standing tall and proud next to two yellow daylilies. I’m hoping the other two on the same stem bloom within the next couple of days those should be red as well. The other I’m not sure of the color yet but I’m, sure it will be just as pretty.
A neighbor had given me the bulbs last fall when he was separating bulbs from his own garden, so the colors have all been a pleasant surprise until they actually bloom. Last week a few yellow blossomed. Sadly, they fade away only after a day. Apparently that is the where/why the name Daylily.
Next year I’ll clip them and bring them in the house to enjoy if only for the day!
From your garden of dreams many things will blossom- unknown
Planted next to the Daylily are 3’ tall yellow flowers {heliopsis hellanthlodes venus} resembling miniature sunflowers attracting a group of small colored butterflies that blend right in with the color of the flower. I’m hoping a few Hummingbirds stop by as well!
Have a great week and stay well my friend!
I wandered around Old Orchard Beach, Maine last Friday in and out of the shops I came across a small bookstore where these two books grabbed my attention.
Today I finished reading, “Coming into My Own and Removing the Mask,” by Marcia Brevard Wynn. A powerfully enlightening journey of self-reflection and introspection toward finding and appreciating ones true self. I couldn’t put this book down I was totally absorbed.
“New York City a State of Mind,” by Bruno Moyen. Photography, tantalizing glimpses of the city. I love the cover with the Statue of Liberty and it’s small size of 5 1/2 x 9 1/2.
For a little fun on the creative side of the day I played around with a program called Poladroid. It’s pretty neat, when you open the program a cute little icon of a Polaroid camera pops on your screen and you drag a photo file over the camera and it converts with a Polaroid effect. Pretty cool!
Stay well my friend.
