What lovely photos of birds. Isn't is amazing how much joy and beauty we can see in nature as it goes about its business, not caring about our joy in the least but contributing to it all the same?

The birds were very cooperative today Cheryl. You did a great job getting those pictures.

That Sherry is a generous lady. You are lucky to have her as a friend.

I hope your trees are ready to be planted and they do well since you are planting them so late in the fall. Most trees like this time of year to get settled in.

Hi Lisa.....In the UK we always plant bareroot stock around this time.....in fact any time from now until end of Feb.......they do very well, due to our wet winters, and of course the weather is somewhat milder than it used to be. All the hedgerows I have planted were done at this time.

When would you plant trees in your area??

How sweet of Sherry to send you this gift! I've always thought of the two of you as kindred spirits, Cheryl--both of you have such a way with birds. I think the birds sense a caring soul around them--they've posed so beautifully for you.

Greetings from sunny, warm Arizona! I hope you are warm and dry, Cheryl, and have a wonderful weekend.

Some days everything just falls into place. And this was surely one of those days for you. Every photograph is beautiful. Thank you for sharing these amazing birds.

Cheryl said...

My Dear Rose....how sweet of you to drop by....I was thinking of you today......that lovely warm weather....you enjoy your special time with your daughter.....

I went to the pinetum to collect my hedgerow trees today.....had the most wonderful drive through the countryside......I shall do a post soon......

Have fun and soak up some warm rays for me.......

Dear Cheryl,
I am so pleased you like the books!
We ARE kindred spirits. I was holding the books you sent me in my arms when I came to see if your trees had arrived.
"Hello" and "Thank you" to your lovely birds....The English Robin is so pretty and so are the Blue Tits. Seeing Great Tit sit still for a minute is amazing. I am so tickled to see your sharp and up close photgraphs! You will be having your own card line soon!
The birds do appriciate your care and seed! I appriciate your kindness and being with you in spirit.
Cheers dear friend,
Sherry

Cheryl,

A lovely post with beautiful birds and prose! Friendships need (always) to be celebrated. Gail

Cheryl said...

Dear Sherry....you are so very welcome.....I do not think my photographs will ever be good enough for cards, but I am enjoying my camera now, so that is good......

The main reason for the post was just to show my appreciation of your kindness and friendship......

I am having such fun with my books.......I love books.....

Cheryl said...

Hi Gail....I am so glad that you enjoyed the birds......and friendship should always be celebrated, you are so right.......
