It's Friday - That's A Good Thing!
I am nowhere near ready to stitch this, but it is listed as my September 2011 Goal Project. So without further ado, I am happy to present to you:
The Goode Huswife's "Birds in the Bower". I should have a full set of DMC, but for some reason I'm missing a couple of the colors needed for this...I guess that gives me a reason to procrastinate for a while.
Thursday morning I was lucky enough to see a Great Blue Heron flying low overhead - they are such a wonderfully prehistoric looking bird...of course I did not have my camera with me.
I did have my camera when the Deer Family showed up.
Here's Dad...
and the twins...
...and poor Mom - she's so skinny from nursing you can see her ribs.
As large as they are, the fawns are still trying to nurse.
And a bevy of bunnies - while these may all look alike, trust me, they are all different - I was practically tripping over them!
Number #2...
...and Number #3.
Actually a group of rabbits is called colony, a drove, or a warren.
It is amazing how comfortable your wildlife is around your home. Our rabbits are really pretty bold, but we rarely see our deer in the daylight.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pretty big project to get done in uuuuuhhhh a week??? LOL
Wow i love the photos you take of the wild life.
ReplyDeletePoor momma deer, I hope she can put some weight on before winter sets in.
ReplyDeleteBirds in the Bower looks really interesting, its one I haven't seen before. Looking forward to seeing your start on it.
Great wildlife pics!
ReplyDeleteI love your September goal project. I dream of doing that GH series but of course haven't stitched one yet. I'll enjoy watching your progress.
Don't you hate when you have a couple DMC threads missing??? (I also hate when I replace them........only to find the originals buried deep somewhere in the WIP pile. Pffft.)
ReplyDeleteLove the bunnies!
