The rescue of the Greenfinch

I just have to show you these photos which Maria, a friend from my German garden blog, took on sunday:

She was working in her garden, when she heard some continuous fluttering up from a tree and was wondering what was going on, so she went to have a look and saw this little Greenfinch, who got trapped by some wire, hanging in the trees. She called her hubby for help and they rescued him. Aren't these cute photos?

Sunday Collage

I've had a very busy weekend, Friday after work I've visited a wonderful garden show with a friend and my mum, it was so lovely to see all the flowers and yesterday I had a fitness day with my daughter and in the evening my sis and her husband came to see us. So today I really felt the need to do something creative and I've finished another collage. There is just something so satisfying about finishing a new collage project.

Carduelis spinus - Siskin - Erlenzeisig

Well just yesterday I found out through Robyn's blog http://dailyparcels.blogspot.com/ that my ya ya name is "Duchess sings like a bird" (I wish lol) Seeing that I love songbirds this is the perfect name for me. And when I came home then I've got the chance to take some photos of a cute little songbird that came to my birdfeeder for the first time. It's a siskin that normally lives in the woods where alder trees and birch trees grows.

Rose Collages

I've been in rose mood again as you can see on my two latest collages. The first one I've sent to a friend for her birthday (to the one who paints/draws on the eggs) and the second I've pasted on a big canvas:

Still snowing

I wonder if this winter will ever come to an end?

When I woke up on Friday morning all the garden was covered in snow again and it's so cold that the houses are icicled and the snow lasts and lasts.

At least we've had a sunny day with blue sky today and I did a nice 2 hours walk through the nature with my mum.
