Bluebirds On Mother's Day

Look to your right and you'll see the female bluebird on the garage roof (click photo to enlarge). I didn't even see her while I was snapping away at the colorful male with my trusty Nikon SLR this morning. The males get all the glory in spite of the fact that it's Mother's Day and the nest is full of eggs in the house these two occupy near the big tree. Guess he decided to give her a short break. Can bluebird babies be far behind? I used my Nikon D40 digital SLR with a Nikon 18-200 zoom lens. 

Tulips In Tall Grass

I love this beautiful landscape of red and yellow tulips in tall grass with trees. Have a great Sunday and a Happy Mother's Day. I'm serving my mom breakfast in bed.

Abandoned Cottage. Restorable? Absolutely!

Stone Cottage
"abandoned places. stones warmed by the sun. nature run amuck on the structures left behind. the mystery of things unattended."

I'd love to be teleported to this very spot right now. Have a great weekend, Rosemary

May Is National Bike Month

Check to see what events are going on in your town. Most are sponsoring a Bike To Work Week May 17-21. What a great idea. I love the red rims on this bicycle, don't you?

Loving Cup, Flowers, Books, and Antiques

I love this image since I collect antique sterling silver engraved presentation trophies and antiquarian books. It's lovely, isn't? Right now the only flowers I have blooming in great quantities are buttercups. I wonder how they would look in a loving cup? Certainly not as beautiful as these white roses.

I'll be back later. Busy day head. Enjoy your Friday whatever you do.
xo, Rosemary

Day Is Done, Goodnight

This cat has the right idea. Take a nap whenever you can. I'm going to call it a day too. See you in the morning.

The Real Fantastic Mr. Fox

Have you seen the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox? It's a wonderful animated film based on the book by Ronald Dahl. He called the story a fantasy adventure for children but it's certainly one adults can enjoy as well. I watched the DVD recently and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

An urbane fox cannot resist returning to his farm raiding ways and then must help his community survive the farmers' retaliation. George Clooney plays Mr. Fox and Meryl Streep provides the voice for Mrs. Fox.

Should I Trade My Cottage For This One?

It isn't often that I see something that I like better than my own cottage. Dare I even go and look? It's not very far away. I wish photos of the bedrooms were posted. Oh dear. Let me know if you have any interest. We could see it together and then flip a coin.
