This green Ivy covered wall is an incredible contrast to the golden rod painted walls…I snapped this shot last February on a day trip into Houston, Texas.  I love the contrast of colors and textures.  But my favorite thing in the shot is the little window…

Bathing is the washing or cleansing of the body in a fluid, usually water or an aqueous solution. It may be practised for personal hygiene, religious ritual or therapeutic purposes or as a recreational activity.

Bathing can take place in any situation where there is water. It can take place in a bathtub or shower, or it can be in a river, lake, water hole, pool or the sea, or any other water receptacle.

A Birdbath is an artificial “puddle” or small shallow pond, created with a water filled basin, for birds to bathe and ‘cool off’ in, and drink from.  A bird bath can be a garden ornament, small reflecting pool, outdoor sculpture, and part of creating a vital wildlife garden.

A birdbath is an attraction for many different species of birds to visit gardens, especially during the summer and drought periods. Birdbaths that provide a reliable source of water year round add to the popularity and “micro-habitat” support

A-Z Archive: B Challenge

Watching the Birds Bathing in the Birdbath is a very relaxing way to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon cup of tea…

This beautiful fountain inspired us to set up our own bird feeding and bathing area amongst a little grove of trees just outside of our kitchen window.  The birds gather there almost every day giving us hours of entertainment. 

 

Photographs:  personally taken in Jackson Square, New Orleans, Louisiana.

A-Z Archive: A Challenge

A-Z Archive: A Challenge:  A challenge for 2012 from the pages of Flickr Comments by FrizzText. 

I have been keeping my eyes open for blogging inspiration.  I have also been looking for ways to focus my blog…So far I have committed to weekly postings on “Made in America” products, Vintage items found while out junkin’, Wordless Wednesday, Suncreek Garden Chronicles and You Inspire Me.

This A-Z Archive Challenge is a great way to remember 2011.  I think it’s good to remember from where I came while looking forward to where I am going.  I think that I can grow as a blogger, crafter, photographer, writer, wife, mother and friend by re-visiting this past years thoughts, rants, raves and photographs.  I am inspired to join the challenge offered up by FrizzText.

My first submission is a simple photograph I took last March of a beautiful bush of Azalea.  I am a few weeks behind on the challenge.  I will try to catch up…
