Colorful pairs at the log cabin

I am heading downstate from the log cabin shortly and looking forward to checking up on all of your blogs! I've missed you my friends! It was great weather up until yesterday afternoon and then it started raining. Here's a couple photos I'd like you to take a look at. Which pair do you think is more colorful........

A pair of Wood Ducks.....



Or my mom and her sister? (Notice their matching red hair and pink outfits! HA! HA!)

*My mom is wearing the baseball cap.

P.S. I need to draw my log cabin follower winner tonight since I was out of town this past Thursday! Be sure to check back on Monday! Thank you!!

P.P.S. I've been making mother's day gifts from my nature photographs! Be sure to check them out at my online store. When you click on the link, on the right side bar there is another link that says "Mother's Day". I'll be adding more in the next couple days! :-)

Glorious morning at the cabin.... (and log cabin follower winner!)

Yes, I've snuck away to the log cabin mid-week. It was a glorious morning today, wish I could've shared it with you! The lake ice has melted, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping....




And my beloved loons have returned. I honestly had tears in my eyes as I watched the pair swim across the lake (very far away from me so escuse the bad photo!)


And least I forget, another winner from my log cabin followers. Congratulations to JyLnc at A cup of joe with a view! I will be sending you a surprise gift from my nature store! Jylnc - please email me your address at shelleyupnorth at gmail dot com!

FYI - I am able to make personalized Mother's Day Gifts from my nature store. If you see a photo you like at my nature store, I can place that on any gift item such as a coffee mug, print, T shirt, keychain, greeting card, box of note cards, etc. Please contact me at the email address above with any questions or requests.
