This and That

You probably heard me yell a very big

YEEHAW

over the weekend when I found gerbera daisies at Home Depot!

I have a lovely orange gerbera, but I wanted some other colors.

Jackpot!

Now I just have to keep them happy with a freeze coming this weekend.

I love taking photos.

I am a definite photoholic.

But what to do with all of them.

I had a lovely book made of my favorite garden photos.

What else could I do other than just printing out my favorites?

I decided to try having one printed on canvas.

It was an experiment to see if the color was true.

What about size?

Thin or thick wrap?

I picked a photo I'd recently taken of the Shoebill Stork at the Houston Zoo.
I was very pleased with the color.
Next time I'll get the thick wrap and have the photo printed larger than 11 x 14.

He looks like he's going to walk right off the wall!

I had a surprise in the garden this morning.

Can you see him?

When I first saw this bird several years ago, 

at first glance I thought it was hummingbird.

So small and so quick.

It is a Ruby Crowned Kinglet and how lucky to see his ruby crown.

He must have been in the bath first and was drying off here -- showing off his crown.

He didn't stay long.

Zip!

Friday means Postcard Friendship Friday

and I have a special one for those of you still in the midst of winter.

My sista went to Kauai recently and sent me this reproduction vintage postcard.

The original was titled Isle O' Dreams and was first published around 1939.

Thank you to the lovely Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday each week.

I'm still coughing.

I'm really tired of it.

Calgon take me away (and take the allergies, too).

Wishing YOU well and much joy!
