This little bee came together much faster than I'd anticipated. An easy and straightforward stitch, I finished it up in a couple of evenings. I think my blog post title says it all!
The pump was failing in our Ali-Baba fountain. We cleaned it out, and the pump began working once again. Now the fountain gurgles quite merrily.
Tuesday evening we had lovely light on a distant hill as the sun began to set.
It was a cause for concern and great curiosity!
The clouds were pretty too.
I've had a couple of new visitors!
On Tuesday evening, and then again on Wednesday evening this pair showed up for a few minutes.
They are Cedar Waxwings - such smart looking birds.
They eat fruit and berries, and do not come to any of my feeders.
I don't know why they've come by the house, but I'm sure enjoying having them around. Last year I saw a group of Cedar Waxwings working away in the forest - you can see those photos here.
The tree and the clouds pictures are stunning!!
ReplyDeleteUnusual looking birds - love their eye masks & smart hairdo! looks like your pussycat wants to play with your water fountain -
ReplyDeleteYour bee turned out nicely. It did go quick just as you thought it would too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the sky and what truly bonnie birds those waxwings are.
ReplyDeleteGreat CW pix! I don't think I've ever seen one.
ReplyDeleteYour bee is cute, and she does have some knees there!
What are the yellow trees? Or is that an illusion or a lighting trick? Beautiful.

Pretty bee! What an interesting effect the sun put into the trees and clouds. I've never seen that before. And those waxwings...how soft they look. I did giggle at their masks...the old batman theme ran through my head. LOL

What cute little birds!! Cedar Waxwings. I don't believe I've ever heard of them before. They have a great little swoosh on the head, like a cardinal.
