Just a short time on the porch this morning....

....before the heat becomes unbearable.

I imagine myself walking on the beach early in the morning, a cool salty-air breeze.....seashells,




the pounding ocean waves and the sound of seagulls.




Lovely ~

think cool thoughts today if you, too, are dealing with this summer heat wave.


Enjoy your day!

For the love of birds

This pretty green glass bird with feathers was just waiting for me to snatch him up this past weekend when my sister and I were shopping. I saw it, and just had to have it. You know how much I LOVE birds. And the nice thing about it.....it was on clearance for $3.00!






I hung him in the kitchen window so I can see him everyday.



It's those little things that make us happy, right?




So guess what my sister and I found at the garden center?

The creme de la creme!


This beautiful bird for my birdbath.


He reminds me of the seagulls at the beach...

flying overhead so gracefully and free,

making those little screeching sounds that can lull one to sleep.





I think he looks right at home here in my back yard, and the mourning dove are quite happy with him too. They hopped on the birdbath shortly after I put him in.






Speaking of mourning dove, this sweet mourning dove was sitting here with her two babies outside my kitchen window. I snapped this photo yesterday and this morning the babies have hopped out and flown away.




Birds..........just love 'em!

Birds and Otis



If I were a bird, I'd sing a song
And fly about the whole day long
And when the night comes, go to rest,
Up in my cozy little nest.
by Jackie Silberg

Here are some more birds I've been busy painting.














And speaking of birds, I was out running errands and stopped by the ATM for some cash and here comes a seagull walking right up to my car.





He came closer. I think he was hungry. Of course, all I had in the car was some old candy corn from halloween. Oh, well. Sorry little guy.


So when I got home, just for the fun of it, I got on the computer and played some seagull sounds.

Check out Otis when he heard them.








Be sure to stop by my etsy shop to see more birds.
Enjoy your day!
