This is a picture of the hummingbird I saved after it flew into the window and and was laying unconscious in the snow. Now it sits in the window box (with fake flowers) outside my studio. He usually likes to sit in the rhody, but we've had so much snow that he's afraid he'll be crushed if it falls.

A Magical Moment
It is snowing and the world outside is beautiful! Yesterday I heard a bird-thump on the window glass, and when I looked outside, there was a hummingbird laying in the snow. Right away, I went outside and picked it up.... it rested in my hand for just a moment, then flew away to a nearby branch. After a few moments, it shook itself off and flew away in search of food. I never imagined I would have an opportunity to actually hold one of these magical creatures, what a wonderful reward for all of the care I take in keeping their feeders filled (and thawing them on frosty mornings).

Artfest Memories
This was truly all about serendipity, I found the perfect cover paper and ribbons in the Art Asylum, picked up the window frame on the cover at a shop in Pt. Townsend on Thursday evening, and a wonderful person gave me a small wire hummingbird nest to put in the corner of the "window." Also, my classmates were very generous with collage elements and helpful advice so I was able to turn my ordinary garden journal into a wonderful work of art, just in time for the artists' show on Saturday night. Here's a close-up of the book cover

This was my fifth year, and I was resolved to take it easy and make time for breathing and other relaxing activities. I'm not sure I was very successful, I got too focused on completing my projects and doing every possible thing there was to do. Maybe next year....?

Belated Valentine's Day

We celebrated the occasion in Reno and I wore this bracelet with a sparkly red dress, I truly felt like the Queen of Hearts.
