House finches
Today began with a trip into town for PT, then continued with picking up materials for some Valentines Day projects for children. A group of friends met for lunch, then headed to one of the women's house to play games...and there I encountered these absolutely gorgeous quilts - just completed - just getting ready to be delivered. Imagine...if I had visited a few days later, I could easily have missed the opportunity to see these! All three of the friends I met with are talented quilters. Alas! That is not a skill I have worked to achieve. But I certainly appreciate the effort, the skill, the ability to match color, pattern, and feel to achieve a result that is an art form.
Upon returning home I did a few chores, then headed back outside with the camera. The maple tree was filled with house finches, who soon adjusted to my presence, and pretty much ignored me, allowing lots of photographs to be taken. I also noticed some fresh deer tracks in my garden - but couldn't find that anything new had been munched on. Maybe they were just checking to see what was getting to a perfect ripeness for them. I do wish they'd visit when I could see them (they're always here at night). So, for them, I just imagine what they look like, and keep my eyes open for when there are fresh, tiny hoofprints, letting me know fawns have been born. Not yet this year...
