An homage to Bob

If any of you have an Instagram account, you may have crossed paths with a few wonderful birders at some point.  I follow many who are absolutely phenomenal photographers and videographers.  @putman_and_robin is one of those!  His adorable videos of the most wonderful European Robin friends Bob, Bobette, and Pip are worth a watch or twenty!  

Here is my homage to 'Bob!'  Maybe his older, slightly 'more fancy' sister?

I'm a bit sad today as one of our darling Tree Swallows had a

window strike - she rallied but we couldn't get her to fly.

We handed her off to a licensed rehabilitator with prayers.

Her mate is still looking for her.  SO sad.

I needed the joy that Bob brings me!  Hope you stop by for a look-see!

Doodlebugs Friday - a thank you!

Hello my friends!  I have another gorgeous bird in the house!  Altenew's Bird of the Mountain die set to be specific!  What a fun day I had taking this wonderful Redstart and making him into one of our favorite visitors to our yard - the Baltimore Oriole! It is such fun watching them getting nectar from our Hummingbird feeders!

Today is my last Friday post designing for Doodlebugs, so I wanted it to be really special - SURPRISE!! NO sneak peeks! But you will find all the other details and products used over at the Doodlebugs blog! wink. 

Thank you, my friends, for taking all the love you share with me here over to their blog - you are THE VERY BEST! Thanks for every syllable of your kindness!
