My house finch

Backyard birding is fun. I never thought that my simple bird feeders can attract beautiful birds that I even don't know the name or familiar with. But this Winter I really vow myself to take care of my backyard birds for I remember that I do have a bird pet when I was young. It was on a cage but one day it escaped. From then on I don't have any liking to have a pet even until now. This time it's different the birds are not in the cage for I don't like it too, I want them to be free, and I already reap what I sow ^_^ Since last Winter I see different kind of birds like this one. This is called house finch and I am amazed of the color. It's reddish on the head and brown on the body. God creation is indeed beautiful!!

I used to have house finches aplenty in my yard in Maryland. None here in the Pacific Northwest, though. But I do get lots of hummingbirds and an occasional goldfinch.

A beautiful bird! We need to have cameras ready at all times, such a view is one to catch in the moment. Stunning capture, we ought to consider a bird feeder for more of these. A bold ruby on its head!

Great captures! I wish the birds that flew on my neighbour's pomelo tree stay long enough for me to grab my camera!

Shopping With Friends

                                   The whole day I was out. Yup, as in literally out of our house. Because me and my friends were having a shopping Filipino food mode and lunch after. Thanks to Ms. L for driving us and preparing our lunch because we had a sumptuous lunch as well as a good laugh. Here are the photos that we took.

Couple's Corner: Jealousy

Image
So it's another couple's corner meme once again and this time it is all about jealousy. I am thinking of the 8 years that I have known my hubby (2 years of chatting, 1 year engaged, 5 years of marriage) wala namang grabeng nangyari sa amin in terms of jealousy but ONCE and will tell the story later so hang on hehe. I am the kind of person who trust a person without any doubt, even with friends what you see is what you get but if you broke that trust I would never care nor look at you as in talagang wala na. But in marriage pala we can't just say "that's it" or "this is it", we have to listen to one another and trust again and  again and again. I look as jealousy or selos as like a flame  that keeps the fire from BURNING HOT!! bwehehehe!! -wink-wink- Hubby is not a jealous type nor I (well not much). His ex-wife is still living and I never get jealous because I am much 1000% prettier and younger than her bwahahaha!! Kidding aside hubby don't h...

It's yellow

Image
Six more weeks and it will be Spring wohooo!! By that time I am kind of busy scratching (like a chicken) trying to find sprouting plants specially tulips and some other early plants and flowers on the ground. This year I am excited to see my dahlias, peonies and hollyhocks blossom once again. Last year I took a shot of my first ever Dahlia and never expected to see a humongous one. The saying "expect the unexpected" is what I  remember when I saw my first Dahlia. This picture is the bud, ain't that huge already. The other day when it starts to warm up (25F that's our warm or heat wave here in MI lol) the snows on top of the roof started to melt, so it formed  long icicles. I so then thought of taking a picture for macro shot. When I saw the result in my camera the light from the window came out yellow, a great entry for MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY !! ^_^
