Scenes of autumn within the culdesac we live--

{a most lovely sight} - complete..

The birds continue their visits regularly, and I find myself taking the time to watch for their return...  I managed to have my camera waiting and ready since they are so quick to land and fly away to the next tree or branch.~ It's amazing how just sitting quietly and bird-watching can be so relaxing & therapeutic. It's fun to see their variations in color, they really are beautiful! The thought crossed my mind as I was sitting back quietly and taking in the beauty of nature, all the lovely things taking place {sometimes right outside our windows} that we simply do not see because we are busy inside our homes and running around from dawn 'til dusk... 

Take a moment to sit quietly & observe what's happening around you... more than likely, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the beauty that awaits you...

{a most lovely sight}

Yesterday I woke up to wintery blizzard out, after getting all the kids off to school I had to quickly make two lunches, then get ready to go. I had signed up to be a driver for my daughter's field trip. While bathing in the tub I noticed some movement outside the blinds when I peeked out I saw {a most lovely sight}... the tree just outside the window was literally filled with little baby birds. It took my breath away - I wished so much at that very moment that I could've captured what I was seeing in a photo, but instead I was in a hurry, soaking wet & naked.. Had I been so lucky to take a picture, I surely would've framed it.~ I'm keeping my eye out for the little birdies to come back...  

{this is the tree they visited, only there wasn't as much snow.. just a thin line upon the branches and at least a dozen baby birds scattered through out}.
