For the birds, part two — garden art

Mighty oak tree
Being outside in our new sunroom every day has led me toward a new appreciation for nature.  I find God in the minute details found with my macro lens just as much as I do marveling at a sweeping sky.  Unexamined before now, I am tuning in to the songs and habits of our backyard birds.  The way they soar and hop, ever on alert, fascinates me.

Today I will show you all the yard art I’ve been working on to make the backyard much more home-y.  The bright colors and decorations that I can see from many back windows of the house make me happy every time I glance outside.
