This was the first time a yellow-headed blackbird would let us get so close to take photos and didn't fly away almost immediately. That one bird seemed to be curious about the click of the camera. When it happened twice in a day, it seemed like a bigger change in their comfort with us.

Cool! The coolest analogous, almost monochrome, I've ever seen, I think. :cool:

Does sound like a wonderful walk, and I love that you put the poem in the white frame. I'm drawn to those purple flowers and butterfly to the left of the frame. So pretty.

Beautiful and just lifts my mood on a cloudy day. Love that you included one that's the lighter, almost greenish, yellow.

So fun! Congratulations on your Standing O and for finishing. Means you've found creative time you didn't used to have, I suspect.

Very pretty and I love the stripes and the white space.

Good luck with your art. I love the art but it was very messy. ;)

Love the lace matching the crisp delicate lines of the flower. And the beautiful colors.

Wonderful ART. Love all your choices to the final effect.. Makes me smile.

Beautiful and I love how your view changes throughout the year. So many moods. Also love the two frames off to the side. ;)

Great documentation but the woodchucks are stealing the show! :p

Gorgeous ART and as always so creative and original. Love it!

Congrats on the Standing O. One for the stacking. One for the colors. Two of them maybe. :p

Gorgeous pages. Love these photos and your layout.

I like your bright border with the gray background and limited color inside.

Wonderful design and you really create a welcoming page. I love the white space and limited colors.

Such warmth and welcome throughout. I think handmade things exude warmth, and you've definitely got the touch. ;)
