We live on a lovely corner lots that sits on a wetland- which means we have neighbors on one side and wildlife
on the other! From deer to wild rabbits to squirrels to coyotes to eagles to ducks and a variety of birds- we are
surrounded by all creatures great and small!

It was our plan, when we left our busy and hectic life in Southern California, to get back to nature and instill
a passion (that both Andy and I grew up with) in Lucy for the outdoors. And now that we are getting a settled into
our new digs, we have begun the process of showing Lucy all the simple wonders of nature.
our new digs, we have begun the process of showing Lucy all the simple wonders of nature.
Since Lucy is smitten with birds we have been setting up feeders in our yard.
(yes, Andy climbed that tree barefoot)
It turns out that the best location for bird watching has become our window seat which over looks
our deck/backyard and it was the perfect place to add a tray bird feeder. Andy created a SUPER simple design
and knocked it out in a matter of minutes.
We've had all kinds of birds and squirrels visiting the feeder throughout the day and Lucy loves sitting in
the window to watch. Its so much fun to see her face light and hear her yell B I R D when a bird flies in
for a treat.
Its even become a wonderful source of sketching and photography inspiration for me!
We are hoping this is just the beginning of making nature a part of our everyday life!
I love this idea and how lucky for you to have these cute little creatures next door. That first photo is stunning! It's awesome that your helping to feed them and giving a perfect spot for Lucy to enjoy them too.
ReplyDeleteThe birds over there are very pretty. We have a feeding place in our garden to so we can enjoy the little bird that live here in the nethelands.

Wow...pretty bird. Is that a Steller's jay?
ReplyDeleteDoes Lucy have a bird book? My daughter loved birds at that age too...we gave her a kids bird book but she preferred the adult ones...more bird pictures to look at. She would try to imitate their calls, but the only one she was any good at was teh blue jay.
Thanks so much for all of his info,,,,,,,,

When we moved to Missouri almost 2 years ago I was thrilled to see so many birds, squirrels, and bunnies right in my own backyard. Both of my children (3 and 18 mo) love to point out the animals they see and fill up the bird feeders.
ReplyDeleteWow! You caught a beautiful shot of that bird. Gorgeous color and I can see why you were inspired to sketch and paint it.
ReplyDeleteOut in nature is the perfect place to teach our children natural and wonderful things....and your little one is so blessed to have her mommy and daddy who made this move so she could be raised there.
