  5. Texwisgirl: I would be honored if you wanted to draw the hummingbird! I KNOW you will do it great justice, because I have seen your bird drawings and they are INCREDIABLE!

    Thanks Gerry, Diane, and Randy, your comments made my day again.

  6. California Quail, wow is she a real lady or what, ready for royal weddings:)
    Rhododendrons are very winter hardy but when you are dropping snow straight on to it from roof it didn't like it so much. I love those plants cause they are evergreens:) When everything is brow rhodo just glows the green color.

  7. The top bird is as if a jeweled version and the woodpecker is wonderfully characterful.

    Happy Easter.

  10. The hummingbird photo is incredible. As is your header photo. Thanks for deciding to follow and I return the favor. Since I rarely get up to Sonoma, your blog will keep me in touch with your neck of the woods.
