A winter's tale

I'm happy to report,

due to the extremely mild winter,

The Snowdrops are up and,

compared to last year, they seem to be several weeks early.

The mild weather is also luring a lot of birds,

Cardinals and snowbirds are everywhere
and Robins never left.

Occasionally, one might even spot an exotic.

But the most noteworthy sighting is the return of
the Red-winged Blackbird on Feb. 21st.

They are one of the most abundant native birds
in North America.

A highly polygynous species,

meaning males have many female mates/ nests.

Their early arrival and tumbling song are
happy indications of the return of spring.

I say this is a cause for celebration !

Before you know it, Tulips will be in bloom

and Spring will be in the air.

Pretty Pastels

There is something beautiful about an artists impression of the world and how they can capture a moment, a thought or a vision within a piece of beautiful art.

I love this beautiful watercolor by Ohriginals of Mariposa with magical green eyes.

Or this painting on paper with watercolor by LouisestArt of flowers inspired by the wonder of nature.

Maybe a print of "Lemon Breeze Sweet Puffs" which features these two whimsical friends by LightheartedDreamer.

And finally with Valentines Day fast approaching - a lovely print of a watercolor aptly titled "The Hearts Tree" by TheJoyofColor.

These sweet pastel watercolor artworks will look lovely adorning any home.

It's All in the Details

Sarah Giannobile's abstract art deserves a closer look. From a distance, pleasing compositions, balanced color creates a lovely impression. But do get up close and personal and you'll experience a completely different world...
