Happy World Embroidery Day!

This is a lovely kit made by Madeher; it was a Christmas gift from my sweetest B. (and yes, I am just now starting on it, seven months later!).

Spotlight

 

Hello, lovely!

Flying Flower

 

Living flower petal? No, a lovely little yellow butterfly.

Nespresso Art: Foot

 

All I can really see here is a foot, and (fun fact), I find most feet to be quite icky. 

Does anyone else see something other than a foot?

Flame On!

 

I think we can understand why this is called an Australian flame tree! 

The view out the bedroom window is all orange at the moment!

Mrs. and Mr. Oriole

 Girl.

Boy.

Beauties, both!

Groovy

 

Just a fun pile of 1960s/1970s fabric...always makes me smile!

Hummingbird Hi-Jinx

 The hummingbirds seem much more interested in this fountain than they were our previous one (for some reason). They constantly fly at/near/by it...I wonder if they are somehow enjoying a fine mist that we can't see? In any case, they often menace the other birds, who generally ignore them.

Always fascinating and amusing, our littler hummer friends!

Random Heart: Brown Leaf Tip Edition

 

Hello, Gorgeous

 

Potatoes! Always gorgeous!

Surprise

 

A tiny tiled artwork tucked away on a public street...also, surprise! This blog post is not about a bird!

Jewel

 

Do you see it?

I Can See You

 Nice try, buddy...

Even though this is its butt and back legs, it is hilarious because it looks like two skinny legs bent at the knee!

Pool Rules

Everyone is pissed because they have to get out for "adult swim."
 

Yellow/Birds

 Mr. Oriole.

Mr. Goldfinch.

Sun, Set

 

Bird Ballet

 

Hitching a Ride

 

Have you ever seen a lizard riding a rabbit? Well, you have now!

P.S. Please pretend you are reading this on Wednesday, July 7. I apparently forgot (?!) to do a post last night...yikes.

Fleurs

 

Cutting garden goodness...

Groovy

Flower firework.
 

"Better Than Fireworks"

 

That's what B. said, and I totally agree! (And it doesn't terrify all of the animals, either!)

Summer Glowin'

Nice early summer late afternoon glow...
