Falling Up

Goldie is the queen of silly in our house. And silly is part and parcel of
Shel Silverstein's work, Falling Up. Check out one
of his poems today at the InkPatch at www.SonjaHakala.com

These double-blossomed pink columbine hover above the bachelor buttons in my garden.

They came, they bloomed and now these incredibly luscious peonies are already by.
Too short, too short.

A Whole of Birthin' Going On

This baby brown creeper just fledged today!
Read all about his first flight—and rescue—on my website: www.SonjaHakala.com

I know it doesn't look like much now but
these frog eggs just hatched yesteday. The polywogs
will be easily seen very soon!

This is the second year we've been privileged to have
a nesting pair of Canada geese nearby.
This is Mom and Dad and four goslings
out for an early evening swim.

A Rebirth Announcement

Remember, you are welcome to check in every day on the InkBlog at: www.SonjaHakala.com. I always have new pictures and news to share with you.

Last week, just after I posted here last, the Cecropia moth caterpillar that we nicknamed Spiky, whom we watched spin a cocoon in September, came out as this incredibly beautiful moth.

Cecropia moths are the largest moths in North America, and we were in awe of its incredible beauty and the fact that it made it through this past winter.

Just for reference, here's what Spiky (or maybe it's Spiketta, we have no way of knowing) looked like when Jay found him/her.
