A beautiful garden statue

Earlier this week, the temperatures were in the high 90s. However, today I woke up to rain and much, much cooler temperatures. No matter the time of year, Colorado has many bright sunny days. So today was a bit of a novelty and perfect for photography.

The picture above is one of my favorite garden statues. She lived in my mom's garden for years and just the other day, my mom asked me if I wanted her. Or, maybe I asked my mom if I could have her, (probably the latter). Anyhow I am so happy to have her in my garden now. She looks so stunning!

Happy gardening.

Not a bird, but a squirrel

This morning with camera in hand, I sat on my back porch hoping to take pictures of birds. I waited and waited, drank two large cups of coffee, but not a bird to be seen. 

However, there was a squirrel running back and forth on the fence. So after a while, he got his picture taken.

Here is a picture just before he jumped in the tree.

Hopefully, bird pictures next time, but squirrels make good art too.
