2010 Christmas Birdhouse

It's always nice to be ahead of the holidays! With the way it's snowing outside, it might as well be Christmas again here in Calgary :-) This picture was languishing on my desk for a while - it was just one of those pictures that needed a half hour's worth of work to complete. It took a lot of effort to do this, since it's always more exciting to start something new :-) Click for larger.

    Very pretty, I love Cardinals, we do not have any here in Oregon and I have only seen one that was not in a picture. Beautiful birds.

    This is beautiful! Yeah I heard about your snow, my adoptive grandparents were supposed to move to Calgary yesterday and because of the snow it has been postponed until tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be a bit better by then!

    They sure are beautiful Marlene! I don't think we get them here either...or at least not in our part of the city.

    It's crazy how the snowstorm just literally blew through town. I couldn't believe how warm it was when I walked home last night.

    I'm glad you guys like the cardinal so much - I'll have to get some pictures of the handmade Christmas ornaments that inspired them.
