A Sunny Spring Afternoon Birding at Home

Spent yesterday afternoon doing some raking & pruning, before the rainy days started here.  Finally got the forsythia contained back into it's bed, and removed a couple dozen small Black Birch trees that were trying to colonize the hill up back.  Tim had said he saw a Hummingbird, so I put the feeder out.

After that, I decided to take my camera and rest on the front deck.  Yes, indeed, there was a Hummingbird zooming around!  There was also a pair of Rosy-breasted Grosbeaks, a Baltimore Oriole, a pair of Cardinals, Blue Jays, Catbirds, and Goldfinches.  Oh, and the Lilac is blooming, along with the last of the Daffodils.  Such color!   I couldn't get the birds into one photo, and still be able to see them all clearly, but I got a couple of shots so you could enjoy them.  Just a nice afternoon at the Studio!

Fun at the Fair

Had a nice day Saturday at the Arts in Bloom Spring Festival!  The rainy weather finally cleared off, and we had lots of sun.  It was nice to have friends & family stop by my booth. I even sold some items, which considering the low turnout (probably weather-related), was encouraging.  Thanks, everyone!
