Have you found a Smart Phone helpful in creative concepting?

It's the teeny things, on teeny peonies, that when you take the time to look up close, are just as beautiful as the big things.

The Ornithologist and the BirdBath Spa

The Ornithologist and the BirdBath Spa:
Lucky for this ornithologist (or maybe, lucky for the birds) the BirdBath Spa is dry today. Come tomorrow, it should be brimming with rain water if the forecast holds true. Regardless, she has made herself right at home. >^..^<

 

What kinds of birds show up at your birdbath?

It's the Teeny Peony Things

Rich, luscious red peonies soaking up the recent rain.  The closer you look, the more beauty you see.  I hope that Jane Iredale creates a lipstick that is just this color!

Loving Spring!
