First, I want to thank everyone, who shared their favorite things about this time of year. I felt that I was with each one of you as you described them.
Ok, onto the winner of my blog giveaway.... Hope
Hope...if you will e-mail me with your address, I will get this packaged up and mailed out to you.
I thought that I would share with you, some of the wonders that I see each day as I look out of my studio doors. I love the smells that come from my flowering trees....
Outside my studio doors, I have a nest that a mama bird built. Her babies have hatched and I have been following their process. I love this time of year....
I am so looking forward to seeing the hummingbirds and butterflies.




what stunning photos, I love the ones with the nests and the birds. HOw wonderful to have something so close like that

Dear nellie, your trees flowering so beautifully, is a lovely sight, it looks like your nature is in the same place as mine here-my lilac`s looks exatly like yours--full blooming and color changed a bit ,looking slightly paler... so beautiful.
The little baybies are fast growing, :) when will they leave? it is so fantastic being able to watch them grow very fast, and suddenly being able to fly...
Nature is wonderful.
Smiles and hugs, Nellie, from me.
