I think I saw a Mountain Chickadee on my Crabapple tree yesterday morning…
That was before my cat, The Bird Watcher scared it away!
It was my inspiration for a page in the art journal that I told you about in my post here: The Art Of Noticing
I must say, it was super fun to color with my Prismacolor pencils in a rainbow of colors! I felt like a child again.
What creative activities help you feel young at heart?! ❤️ I hope you share them with me.
Happy Bird Watching! 🙂

Colored pencils for sure! And the smell of Stockmar Wax Blocks (http://www.stockmar.de/index.php?cPath=475&language=en), loved to paint with them as a kid. 😊

Thanks for sharing the link with me, Ann! They look like color crayons in block form – very cool! I still enjoy the smell of a new box of color crayons – it takes me back to my childhood too! 💜🎨😃

At least he only scared the bird away…mine would have eaten it! Sadly birds don’t visit my yard often anymore 😦

Well, he has eaten plenty… I can handle the birds better than the dead mice and baby bunnies. 😳 I don’t like that part of owning an outdoor kitty as they do tend to scare away the birds! 🐦

This would be my cats! Fortunately they are too slow for the birds!

At least chasing birds give them a little activity! Lol! 😄 If I see my cat getting ready to make a pounce on some unfortunate birdy, I open the door so the bird flies away… The neighbors have a bird feeder that my cat visits but at least he catches the mice that are also attracted by the bird seed. 👍🐦

Love it! My cat can only watch from the window since he’s an indoor cat, but he enjoys the hummingbirds! 🐱🐥🐥

I remember my cat chattering away at the birds from the window indoors when I was a child. Always made me laugh! 😄 Thanks Nana! ❤️🐦❤️

Oh, how colorful, nature at its best. Prismacolors do not disappoint. I would say all creative activities make me feel young at heart. Right now I’m making a Halloween hat out of a large paper bag. I’ll be sure to post it.
