Thursday some Mail Art, Bizoo, and nature.

 This is our new calla lily plant. It's a beautiful color, isn't it. My mother's wedding bouquet was white calla lilies. I've always loved them because of that.

 The sky was gorgeous this afternoon. We had a rain storm, then it cleared and we had sunshine, then all of a sudden, we had clouds again. BIG dramatic ones.

These are the last two pieces of Mail Art in the Landscape Beautification Project - for awhile. The project manager needs a break.










Here's one of my new series of minimal Mail Art pieces. I love the action in this piece.











Here's the companion piece in the Landscape Beautification Project that is on hiatus. When the project manager has some time away, they'll begin again.








Here's the companion piece for the new minimal series. I made these this morning. More to come like this.

  Bizoo waiting to see Dr. Jack at the Animal Hospital on Church Hill. He was so calm in this moment, and a little trouper during all of the handling, and shots.

Here's Bizoo back at home, exhausted by his experience. He's been a sleepy kitty most of the day, with bouts of kitty play between naps. What a life. He's soooo cute!

And the most recent photo of our grand is soooo cute! You have to take my word for it as I'm keeping her private.

Garden fun

 Last year, my honey planted two calla lilies in the back garden. They were dark brown and I didn't like them because they blended into the color of the mulch. This year, surprise surprise, they returned with HUGE leaves and one (so far) lovely orange color bloom. I like this!

 Mr. or Ms. squirrel lurking by the bird feeder pole. I see you!

 Here he or she is again, waiting on the fence. Hoping I don't see him.

 Here he is balancing on the top of the shepherd's crook pole that holds the bird feeder. Clever little acrobat!

 YIKES! I've been noticed! When he saw me, he scurried down the pole and hid under a fern. I don't mind feeding him because the bird seed is inexpensive and he only eats the parts he likes, leaving plenty for the birds.

 I was trying to identify the little birds we get. I used the telephoto on my camera. Here's a shot with one in the feeder & 2 waiting.

Here's a blurry view. One just jumped into the feeder, others waiting. They're sparrows. I've identified 2 kinds so far, plus Cardinals, oh so easy to I.D. and some big grackles. One grackle came yesterday and couldn't figure out how to get inside to the seed. Oh dear, maybe brain damaged, as the others of his kind had no trouble the other day. Could that be possible?
