oak tree, redwood, california poppies from our yard. the 3 birds represent the redtail hawks that have nested in the eucalyptus tree. i printed these on brown cardstock on my gocco. though it was a bit of a hassle (i ran out of gocco ink and had to improvise with other ink and had to figure how to register the print), i'm pretty darn pleased with how they turned out!
on sunday C spotted a nest at the very tip of a branch on one of the oak trees in our backyard. we watched the momma bird bring her babies food as they peeked their little heads up over the edge.
yesterday morning i found this little guy hopping across the yard. i watched him for a while to make sure that he wasn't injured and then let him be. i hope he figured out how to get back home!
newly planted huge magnolia tree (thanks eddie and sophia!) vielen Dank to everyone for your sweet well wishes.
the pace hasn't slowed down a bit over the last few weeks and i have many more projects to share.
look for them in the next week or so!
