Gained weight because it was really good, and safe for me, and I pigged out. I'm back to normal now, but plan to do it again if I can in September. LOL ;)

They all work very differently, but we always enjoy them. They're people who know and love everybody that comes to their feeders, and most will tell you who's who. I wish we had that here, especially the resorts. They're so laid back. But there have to be birds. At our official "Backyard Habitat...

On Mother's Day when we said goodby to Apartment 1 it was a little bit sentimental because we had stayed there so many times. Number 5 was much nicer but I wanted to remember the details of our tiny digs. I took snapshots with my phone in pre-dawn light long before the sun came up.

Love your photo technique and the way you used APP Radiant colors. Looks really great on her skin.

A beautiful photo. The bits of yellow-orange with all the texture are just gorgeous and really draw me in.

You've brought back my own memories of Cleveland from the early 70's. Love your page design.The torn photo, the journaling strip. I've noticed I'm definitely shifting in this direction lately.

Mary says it best for me too. So much to absorb.

Wonderful photos and a clean, simple design. Love the band across with the wordArt and the vertical line.

Congrats on the Standing O! Love your gnome.

Beautiful border and I love the seed puff bridging the border and the photo.

Love your design, and I'm inspired by it. I love the relationship between the three circles, and how the texture, the white frame, the pale blue paper, and the grid background all work so perfectly in balance together.

Gorgeous page and wonderful take on the color challenge.

Wow. Thank you veer. Appreciate it so very much. ;)

On our last day we especially enjoyed our time at Jasper's but saw no new birds. I found a cactus bloom in the field that wasn't there the day before. As we left, we saw a few adult quail and dozens of tiny chicks arriving. We had a great trip and reserved Apt. 5 for September, 2022.

Dozens of Gambel quail chicks, no more than an inch tall, streamed across the grassy lawn. So small they kind of looked like a swarm of locusts. Their parents weren't particularly protective as they came too close to us for a long lens. You got emotional about your photo of them.

Gorgeous photo so much like a watercolor and beautifully blended.

Wow! Impressive family story and a wonderful way the dots work with the white of the torn paper and the strong blues and greens, also impressive. There's a Wikipedia page and I learned the church is from the first half of the 13th century, rebuilt and extended in 1782, when the tower was added.

There's a reason people in Arizona can set up feeders and chairs and charge five bucks to their visitors. There are almost always birds. If you sat a while and there were none, more would come. I looked for more places, in other states, but it seemed there just weren't as many birds anywhere else.

Great idea, and I love your flattened bugs and giant honeycomb background.

Your comment is funny to me because I love peaches and can't have any fruit on a regular basis, so it's pretty much one peach a year for me.
