A few new camera pictures

I got a very nice new camera from Benj for our 14th anniversary. This one has a fantastic zoom on it, so now I can finally take some good bird photo's. This robin was enjoying the sunny spring morning from our magnolia tree earlier this week.

This finch was a bit tricky to photograph as he would fly away at the slightest sign of movment


This broken perch on the feeder makes it an ideal place for the red-winged black-bird to come and eat


Today Benj mowed the lawn for the first time this season, and I managed to plant most of the early crops in the veggie garden. Red and white onions, spinach, lettuce, peas and sugar peas. This kids thought is was great fun to help!!! ;-)

These viola's were planted last fall and just started blooming this week.

Just wanted to share a picture of one of my past x-stitch projects, a toile picture, called 'The topiary gardeners' made with less then 10 colours, all in red tones.



And finally, yesterday the kids ran in, all excited to tell me that there was a really bright rainbow outside. I couldn't quite get the whole bow on one pictures but it was really, really bright and beautiful.

  2. Thank you for the comment! Nice to meet you! I LOVE the x-stitch project you did on the toile picture!!! I'm adding toile to my decor in my new house. I love red! I just posted my new quilt project that I've been working on while my husband's away. ~aubrey
