Chasing Chickens

I'll admit it right off the bat, I'm weird! When I see turkeys, chickens, baby geese, or a fox cross the road I become giddy and must take pictures!! All those wonderful creatures crossed my path the past few days and I found them fascinating! Not to mention all the horses, Shetland ponies and newborn cows. The countryside is teeming with beautiful wildlife right now.

These missies were crossing the road yesterday in front of us. Why did the chicken cross the road? They don't tell.

Our first newborn geese of the season on the lake. Six tiny ones bobbing in the very rocky waves today. The wind was fierce but mom and dad had them swimming and watched over them very carefully.

My husband and I were working in our garage today and a bluebird flew in, said hello and flew back out, then we were joined by a hummingbird. It's Disneyland in Michigan this week!

Be sure and stop by my Etsy store and see my latest ACEO print, Dusky Conure.

At The Feeder

A beautiful male hummingbird perches at "his" feeder. Hummingbirds are very territorial when it comes to their feeders and will chase other hummingbirds away. Some will even perch close by to guard it.

Painted in oil on a stretched 6" x 6" canvas. The sides are painted, though framing would provide a more finished look.

Hummingbird Close Up

Available: ACEO 2.3" x 3.5" Oil on Stretched Canvas

We've had the fortunate experience of watching hummingbirds this summer from our dining room table. These tiny birds are amazing! I recently read a post from someone in Texas who went through hurricane Ike and reported that during 70 mph winds the hummingbirds were coming to the feeder and having their meal. They are tough little birds! They are also fun to watch.

Whatchadoin?

My husband Ron has been taking photos of the hummingbirds that come to the window feeder. I thought this one was pretty cute! Lots of them see us inside but unless we're moving around they stay and have their meal.
