And the winners are!



Don’t you know stealing my food is a “cardinal sin” ?!





       The caption contest is over and I would like to thank everyone who participated.   My family has spoken, and the winner of the contest is Margaret!   Second place goes to Margaret’s brother Ben, and third place goes out to Susie. The 2nd and 3rd place winners were both chosen randomly.   I will be contacting all the winners so I can send them all a prism.   Congratulations to all the winners!

A Caption Contest



       Can you think of a good caption for this photo?   If so, please leave me one when you comment.

       Here are three rainbow prisms for the prizes.   The first place winner will be picked by my family, and the 2nd & 3rd place winners will be chosen randomly.   You must leave your email address to comment here anyway, so I will be able to get in touch with the winners. The first place winner will have the first pick. The contest will close Friday at midnight.   I will post the names of the winners over the weekend.

uninvited visitor



       I had been wondering why all the sudden, the suet feeders were getting picked clean so quickly, and now I have my answer.

       This squirrel and his three friends have discoverd my feeders.

       The birds that are used to being fed in my yard are not pleased.

Little sparrow





       I have been visited by many of these little sparrows over the course of the winter.





       The dark dot in the middle of this sparrow’s breast is a marking of the American Tree Sparrow





       These little birds winter here with us, then migrate northward, just south of the tundra, into Canada every Spring.





       Sparrrows are seed eaters, and actually prefer the habitat of brush over trees, for building their nests.

Peace





       This is one of my favorite necklaces.   It was made in the 1960’s, as a symbol of protest to the Vietnam war.

       I have had this necklace for almost 40 years.   It originally belonged to my sister Rosemary.   It’s one of my favorite pieces of Jewelry, and I believe whole heartedly in it’s message.
