When our population of birds begins to swell with their winter migration south, I dust off the feeders, fill them with fresh seed, and hang them in the sweetgum trees in the backyard. Thanks to Robin (@Robin's Nesting Place) and her Lowe's Creative Ideas $50 gift card giveaway, I recently purchased feed and the squirrel-resistant feeder pictured at the top.
Robin is a talented and creative designer and photographer, and her latest Creative Ideas project is a perfect example. Thank you, Robin, for your inspiration and for hosting the Lowe's gift card giveaway.
My daughter insists that my interest in photography and birds is a sure sign of my maturity I'm growing old. She may be right, but it's a fascination I've managed to pass on to the little boys who call me "mimi" {remember this?}.
It makes me smile to see the oldest three boys explore with one of my old cameras - my first digital point-and-shoot that I no longer use, but I keep just for the grands.
