So close, yet so far away. . . .

Last year this bird and her/his partner were frequent visitors and this past Monday they showed up again! They love the rose bush in front of our window.  They flit from one branch to the next, almost always near the house instead of the side or near the sidewalk.  They do not seem to be bothered by us moving around even if we get near the window.  They will even fly right up to the window on occasion.

They are fun to watch, especially when Artemis is around!  Artemis is a 100% indoor cat.  We call the window her TV.  If we don't open the blinds soon enough to her liking, she will sit on the back of the couch and gently paw at the blinds until she has annoyed us enough to open them for her! 

In the picture below you can see one of the birds "hovering" top of the picture just to the left of center and the other is in the lower right corner.

I know I've been away for awhile, but I think I will be back very soon and posting some of my creations!  Hope you will come back and visit!
