A Carolina wren nibbles at a tiny morsel on my patio.

The Pearl Crescent is a very small butterfly with a wing span of about an inch and a half. This one was feeding on spring clover blossoms and was extraordinarily cooperative, allowing me to get very close with the macro lens. (Image is full frame, no cropping).

Ever since the painted bunting returned to southern Louisiana for the 2009 summer breeding season, I’ve been on the lookout for him. He sings heartily from the nearby forested property but seldom does he show himself. I saw him fleetingly a few times, but his extreme shyness keeps him well out of reach. Today, I sat in my blind and prayed he’d come. The singing started, with the glorious sound getting closer and closer until he landed as close as I’ve seen him this year. Snap. Snap. Snap. And then he was gone! This was as good as I could get; hopefully, there will be more opportunities before Mr. Elusive heads to Mexico for the winter months! Isn’t he just dandy! Reminds me of a box of crayons! I’m grateful to God for answering my prayer for a better view of this gorgeous little bird.

Sometimes life gives us pleasant surprises, little candy kisses from heaven’s store of refreshments, to renew our outlook and to put a skip in our steps which may sometimes falter. I thought of these serendipitous happenstances when I worked with this butterfly and came up with these cheerful results. Hope it makes you smile and gives you warm, happy feelings in your heart. May the good God hug you and let you know how much He loves you and may there be SERENDIPITY just around the corner, just for you!

Every time I visit my mother, I come home with lots of beautiful flower photos, too many to choose just one, so I decided to put several together in this collage I’ve named, “Garden of Eden,” because that is exactly what Mama’s yard feels like! It’s a sight for the eyes and a soothing balm for the soul. The image of the cardinal sitting on the statue of Jesus is from my yard; there is a very old cardinal who loves to rest there. I think he’s got just the right idea. No better place to find peace!

Tufted titmice, house finches, Carolina chickadees, and cardinals visit my patio feeders regularly and they all love my statue of Jesus where they find a resting place in their busy little lives. This is the bird version of the Garden of Eden with flowers which I posted earlier. Thanks to all the flower lovers who commented about that collage; I appreciate it and am offering this one for bird lovers.

It’s not often I can get a photo of a tufted titmouse; these little spitfires are so fast, they’re gone by the time I adjust the camera. This one was a bit more leisurely, though, and gave me a split second to nab him. Got you Mr. T squared! (I got the idea for the title from my daughter in law Chrissy who calls me Mrs. B Squared (Bonnie Barry); she’s an engineer and thinks mathematically; I’m an English major and numbers are not my strength).

I took this photo of a wren last year, but I didn’t do much with it because I didn’t like the background. Now that I’m experimenting with layers and textures, I thought I’d have another whack at it and came up with this image. I’ve named it Mother Wren at Work. I love the way wrens always add soft mosses and lichen to their nests and the way they build a tiny dome like structure often inside potted ferns and plants on the patio. They are master constructionists and best of all they sing joyfully and powerfully. This tiny bird’s song is truly bigger than its body! Please view larger; Mrs. Wren would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

A female Eastern bluebird is all puffed up and fluffy; looks like an old-fashioned powder puff in a lady’s boudoir! I took this photo on my patio. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, “The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush with a big, rounded head, large eye, plump body, and alert posture. The wings are long, but the tail and legs are fairly short. The bill is short and straight. Male Eastern Bluebirds are vivid, deep blue above and rusty or brick-red on the throat and breast. Blue in birds always depends on the light, and males often look plain gray-brown from a distance. Females are grayish above with bluish wings and tail, and a subdued orange-brown breast. Eastern Bluebirds perch erect on wires, posts, and low branches in open country, scanning the ground for prey. They feed by dropping to the ground onto insects or, in fall and winter, by perching on fruiting trees to gulp down berries. Bluebirds commonly use nest boxes as well as old woodpecker holes. Eastern Bluebirds live in meadows and openings surrounded by trees that offer suitable nest holes. With the proliferation of nest boxes and bluebird trails, bluebirds are now a common sight along roads, field edges, golf courses, and other open areas.” Information above provided at the following address: / http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Eastern_Bluebird/id

This is an older image of a male Eastern bluebird which I’ve enhanced with background work. Just playing around on a Saturday morning!

Taken in my mother’s garden, the little zinnia was soaking up the morning light.

This male house finch was all puffed up and proud on a sunny morning in September. Makes a person happy about life to see something this cute and fluffy and perky.

Roseate Spoonbills are among my favorite birds. This male was posing on a branch in Iberia Parish in southern Louisiana.
