So, I've neglected this blog for over a year.  Terribly sorry to have disappointed anyone, but I'm back! Its been an interesting year.  I've changed positions within the Zoo and am working with the wonderful veterinary staff which I couldn't be happier about.  I've even started the ball rolling on going to Vet Tech school (of which I'm thrilled and terrified all at the same time).  I got the most wonderful birthday gift that I'm absolutely in love with...




Still learning the machine and the software as well, but the community support just can't be beat (instead of being the big bully Provocraft....you should take note and work a little more on your customer service and producing a quality product - just sayin'). Most of my creating has been cardmaking lately. I've been especially addicted to stamping and am starting to get into embossing. I've also decided I'm going to contribute to Operation Write Home. I've really felt a calling to do something for my country and something to support our troops and their families for all the sacrifices they've made. Its also going to help me be more creative and productive in making my cards. So I encourage everyone out there to support our troops, boost their morale and support our country!


Now for my returning FF post
This beautiful Luna Moth was spotted in Bankhead National Forest after eating our picnic lunch on a Birmingham Audubon Society birding trip.  Speaking of BAS and birding.  I've decided to begin posting reports of birds sighted on our trips and possibly a picture or two. (I say possibly because its so darn hard to take pictures when you've got binoculars plastered to your eyes all the time.) So stay tuned!

FF (on Saturday)

And because I'm late, I present 2 photos!


I have named her Lady Turtleton.  The hubs found her while mowing the backyard.  Luckily the mower didn't hurt her at all. 


She's living happily somewhere in the lush greenery (ie. overgrown weeds, vines, privit) that makes up our backyard boundaries.  I hope she eats lots of bugs back there.....

Just a quick post this week.  With preparing to go to FL for a friends baby shower and the recent natural disasters here in the state, I haven't been able to post stuff.  I'll share my baby shower gifts and mom's birthday card next week. 

What a difference a week makes! The baby Finches are growing so fast!  The parents are making fewer trips to the nest, at least I've been seeing them less and less there.  Can't wait to see them begging for food from their parents at our bird feeders.

A House Finch has built a nest on our front porch!  Momma is laying on about 5 or 6 eggs.  Can't wait to watch those babies grow!  The cats just love watching her through the windows.

When we were on our mini-honeymoon in Charleston, we visited the South Carolina Aquarium and decided to take a special tour of the Sea Turtle rehabilitation facility there.  This is a of the photo of one of the patients in care.

Sam took this picture in a graveyard on our mini-honeymoon in Charleston, SC.  I added Sepia to the image in PSE.
