Inspirations

Everywhere I look there are inspirations to be found.

Weeds that grow along a fence row...











Garden flowers that have delicate petals and interesting seed pods...











Fruits and things that are wild...












 a friend curled up on an old quilt...
















 the cardinal on a branch.




All these inspire me.   Would love to know what is inspiring you.

Have a beautiful week - God bless!

  4. Today I was inspired by all the little birds at the new finch feeder (the raccoons destroy anything I leave outside at night and I tend to forget the finch feeders so have to buy new ones) - it seems to be very popular! Chickadees, house finches, gold finches, little brown birds I know not what. And today a juvenile bluejay sat on the deck railing and just cocked his head watching and watching and being so cute - very fat and happy looking.

  16. My orchids; my fuzzy little buddy, Prudy; playing music on iTunes in my office; listening to the quiet first thing in the morning; and, of course, your post which reminded me to look around me for that inspiration.
