So sweet and tuneful! Delightful avatar.

Love the nonchalant gull on the statue. Birds can be so rude. I too love the pot element with this lovely blending.

The framing is so creative in this lift. Gorgeous, cheerful look.

Oooh, what a compelling look into the flowers and bee. The rich colors really pop with the expanse of white. Congrats on the GSO!

Love the leaves picking up the color in the mallard. Nice framing with the art strokes.

Super photo with the eyes looking over the snow and snow over the dog. Perfect title. Very striking.

Perfect for the color challenge. Especially like the layers of shapes and that star.

Oh, how lovely to do the photo in the title. Lovely cluster and colors. Must have been a super birthday.

Great party look with the bits of color and the doilies as environment for the O'Ladies. Very attractive!

Love this elegant card. Black & white with red and gold looks so good. Nice contrast of the border to the softer shapes.

The computer genealogy group went off well today. We're starting to have almost as much fun as in a live meeting. We even now eat lunch together like in person. Then I do a final talk after. We go from 9:30 to 2, so a long meeting. So, since the early morning it's now officially spring! Here...

Chris, it was March 17th by our front steps, so just 3 days ago. Thought it was inspiring.

Just had to use this recent photo for the celebration.

Have to be quick as tomorrow is the computer genealogy group and as usual I'm not ready for my presentations there. I've already written about my yesterday anyway. Chris, I like the idea of completing the book online with the page spreads as guidance. Glad you are happy with the book as it is...

Today was rainy but I think the plants need it. I was so excited that there were many redpolls today and I got a photo with 19 under the feeder. I'll post that here, but imagine my surprise a little later when there were over 30 there and maybe 40 all around. What a fun spring break they're...

I guess I've now done that first thing. Last night I went into our favorite pub to get take-out. Haven't done that in almost a year. It was wonderful seeing several of the regular servers and getting to talk with one who was in for take-out too.

Yesterday was wonderful. It was still chilly, but sunny. After going to the library we went to a nature center that has boardwalks into a small marsh. In March everything looks so brown and barren, but the birds made spring feel really here. Many were singing like Red-winged Blackbirds...

This is wonderful. The photo draws me in and the other sections are a great complement to it and of course the added bird is lovely.

Perfection!

We're going out in a few minutes, but just want to tell of the fun we're having. This is day four of having Common Redpolls at our feeders. The first day a few, then at least 7 for two days and today more than 12!! We've not had these "winter finches" in the yard except for one winter very long...
