Visitors on the front lawn just a day ago.
I had seen this doe quietly walking around the border of the property for several days. She was all alone. I recognized her by her black nose.
Now I know she was all alone because she was looking for a place to bed down and have her little fawn.
She spent quite a while licking the little thing while it nursed.
She is leading her baby to some tall grass nearby, prob. to hide in while she goes about her day.
Enjoying the burst of colour and life all around us...
from dandelions
to drifts of Forget me Nots
to bursts of Lilacs and their intoxicating scent
Jack in the Pulpit
So exotic for here... I just love coming across them..
usually in the under growth of the hedgerow trees, where the light is dappled and the soil is humus.
Earlier in the spring, these Daffodils gave so much joy.
It almost felt like they were singing hallelujah, spring has arrived...
although still chilly then, the colour almost made you forget about the temperature.
Then the african Violet took up the signal and burst into bloom.
and not to forget the little Daphne, that we found growing in a rockpile... we moved a few pieces of it over by the house so we could enjoy its beauty up close.
In between being enamoured with the beauty of nature.. work must go on ... here are a few more of our designs ready to go.
Fishbone Earrings hanging on shells we brought with us from the ocean at St. Martins on the Bay of Fundy.
The Book and Mug
Dragonflys
Ladybugs
and "Spring Blossoms" a new design inspired by the much awaited spring colour that is bursting forth in so many gardens. 4 1/8" long with lots of movement... silver and copper beads, czech glass in aqua and garnet, african painted bead, amethyst, leopardskin Jasper, peridot and sterling silver wrapped crystal.. Only made one pair of these.
Be Happy and enjoy your life!
