We've been in our house for almost ten years now...wow, I can't believe that it has been that long. One of the things I love about this house is watching the birds in the backyard! This has been a favorite past time since we moved in. I have pictures of Nicole (before she was even two) standing in the windowsill in the kitchen watching the birds.
Today I was standing by the kitchen sink eating breakfast when I saw a flash of yellow. At first I thought that it was just on the little yellow chickadees that we sometimes see, but then I looked again and noticed that it was bigger and brighter. I went and got out the binoculars that we bought in Yellowstone to see if I could see it better. It was a bird that I have never seen before. Then I remembered the camera that Scott bought me for my birthday and decided to see if I could get a good picture with it. I ran upstairs to my sewing room where I had been using it but by the time I got back downstairs the bird had moved away from the pond and back into the trees.
I patiently watched a little while longer taking pictures of it in the trees but then my patients paid off when it came by the pond along with another male and a female. Isn't it beautiful! Now if this isn't proof that there is a God, I don't know what is!
