So spring has finally sprung! Lovely flowers. Your garden will be beautiful. But I was especially pleased to hear the cardinal as I don't think I've ever heard one before. Happy spring1
Glad to see spring has got to your part of the world. Our Dafs have only just arrived here - very late. We don't have cardinals, but I once tried recording a nightingale in my garden and just as it was getting into full swing, a low flying jet fighter came over.
We love the cardinals, ChrisJ - but they do have a habit of waking us up around 5:30 every morning!
Snafu, DOTH and I just returned from a walk around the neighbourhood. I took my camera with me because the blossom trees and magnolias are all in bloom - but in every shot there has to be a van or a car or a fire hydrant or a bright orange pylon (for roadworks), or a garbage bin that someone hasn't taken in yet. Life is tough as a photographer in this day and age!
Too bad the nightingale wasn't singing while the planes were grounded recently!
For some reason my last comment didn't register, so I hope this will - I saw this reference to the cardinal and just knew that you would love it. http://picturing.blogspot.com/ x
Our lives are like a patchwork quilt; a work of art by a Master Designer. Life is made up of joys and sorrows; good times and bad; excitement and the daily grind. The underside of the 'quilt of life' seems to have little or no design, but the finished product is truly a masterpiece, and is the joy of the Creator.
Here is a place for me to share the 'patches' that make up my life. it may not look too great right now -- but I trust the One who is "working all things together for good" in it, will be pleased with the end result!
I am 72 years old. When I was a child, I was told by my art teacher in primary school that I would never be able to draw - so for 60 years I never tried!
Thanks to some great encouragement from my sister, a number of years ago, I actually tried - and discovered that I actually do have a bit of talent.
Art is a work of creation, that we inherited from our Creator. It is in our DNA in one form or another. I don't do as much as I would like to, but I will post my attempts, from time to time.
Over 100 incredible missionary stories from around the world. Read about their lives, their challenges, their joys and heartaches, victories and defeats! You'll laugh, cry, pray --and you may even be changed!
