Eye Candy Friday

March 24, 2017 By Carole

So many times when there are birds outside the window my camera is . . . somewhere else. Last Saturday, though, this little bluebird was sitting on the feeder by the kitchen window and my camera (with the long ass telephoto lens on it) was also right there. It was a spring time miracle, I can tell you that. And how cute is he?

We’re planning an adventure this weekend – hope you are, too!

    Gorgeous! My big adventure will be taking all the paperwork to the accountant for taxes…but I’ll be glad to have it done!

    This little birdie is much cuter than the flicker that was hammering our chimney at dawn yesterday. Here’s hoping his adventures take him elsewhere! Then we can all have a happy weekend.

    What a treat! I wish I could attract bluebirds, but I haven’t yet been able to tempt them even with mealworms. I also wish I could take photos of the birds that do frequent my feeder, but my phone camera just doesn’t work. Clearly I need a camera with a long ass telephoto lens of my own. Thanks for sharing this great photo!

    You are so lucky – I’ve never seen a bluebird in real life!

    Great shot! That’s some serendipity, there! I love bluebirds. I can’t seem to attract them to my yard, either — but I do see them in the woods nearby where I walk the dogs. XO

    what a beautiful capture! I wish I carried my camera all the time, because whenever I do not have it, that is when I see something!!

    I love birds. I saw what might have been a quail or grouse today. A bird I’ve never seen before

    I miss those colourful little birds of my East Coast childhood. I finished a painting this weekend of a cardinal, a bird that we don’t have here in the Pacific Northwest. Will post it soon. We’ve had a ton of Bald Eagles here recently.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
