Found a Hummingbird Cam Located in Orange County

This is a live stream of a hummingbird nest in Orange County, CA. The nest is located in a rose bush. One baby hummingbird named Sassy and a Mom named Phoebe. The feathers are spectacular, but seeing the Momma bird fall asleep with a little beak under her fluffed out feathers is just, well, breathtaking.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Wedding Bells?

Nothing makes my heart skip a beat than a beautiful wedding.
When I think of weddings I can't help but picture Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella with birds helping to tie the ribbons on a gorgeous dress.

What could be better than a pair of birds "tying the knot" as a wedding cake topper?

The Birds are Chirping

I love waking up to the sound of bird chirping outside. This Sunday morning was no exception. I found myself stretching my paws and waking up to the sound of a pair of doves cooing and red bellied finches twittering away outside the back bay window. What a glorious way to welcome the day ahead.

Today M is working on more brooches and some vector art.
Here's a sample of one of her bird brooches inspired by the backyard "choir" we all enjoy:












If I had room on my doggie collar I'd certainly be wearing a little bird brooch.

Lemons, Backyard Birdies, and the Indy 500

Today was an interesting day.

First, I had a killer headache. The kind that makes your cheeks ache (yes, dogs have cheeks, lol), your skull feels like someone is using a metal grinder on the inside, and your eyes feel like someone is taking flash photos of you until you can see the red spots on your own corneas.

So, anyway, I decided to try an old folk remedy for a headache. A lemon. I sucked on half of a lemon. And guess what? It worked! I don't know if it's just psychological or what. But, I'd say that it helped about 80%. That's pretty good in my book!

Then, I saw some backyard birds. They were so cute. They were all puffed up and playing with a leaf from a dusty miller. Made me smile.

Ok, the best part of the day? The Indy 500 Race! Vroom vroom baby. Too bad the rain kept causing the race to delay. And did you see the slingshot passes those guys and gals were pulling? Awesome.

Hope you had a great day too.

New Listing at Etsy: Up, Up and Away!

I'm often dreaming of flying. I find myself running through the yard over the rough pavers. Then, just before I've reached the side garden path where the honey bear roses creep on a trellis, something magical happens. My front paws don't hit the wet grass. Instead, my back paws push off the ground with one sudden burst and my tail sweeps over the top of the lemon tree just as I soar for the stars.

Oh yes, it would be nice to fly.

Until then, I'll watch the finches, doves, and crows and enjoy the ground under my paws.
