For me it was the ability to finally create some art after many days of wanting to with something blocking me but I’ve arrived at that good place and it was actually fun and freeing ...

Seeing a hummingbird in my backyard this morning. Taking in the beauty of a new day, while letting Hans out. Enjoying the stillness, peace & trying to be present in it.

Me too Starrlight... I'm hoping we have a somewhat nice weekend, so can go on hike somewhere. Think we need it.

My two hummingbird feeders just came today.

This is something new for me.

I hope they find my house :)

Thank you.

Lots of information there. I'm looking in my yard right now and I see a couple of perfect spots for them.

My plan was to hang them together but the article says provide space.

I saved the article :)

I'm so jealous. I wish I could attract them where I live. I only saw hummingbirds once in my life, on a trip to the country. An old inn had feeders outside the windows. They are lovely in the pictures, but my! I had no idea how aggressive they are. With a feeder outside every window, one bird attacked all comers and managed to keep three feeders all to himself! 😆 🦜

Wow...I will have none of that here hahahaha

No aggressive bully birds in my yard.

I remember the first one I encountered. I was sitting at my cottage deck reading a book. It flew close to my face. I thought it was a giant bug. I tried to swat it away. Hahah

I will let you know how this goes :)

🤞 I need to put mine out too. We have flowers & trees in our backyard that draw a lot of birds to... it's nice to enjoy them.

I can't wait.

I've had a few buzz by me on occasion. They are like little helicopter.

Oh no hope it’s under control now. I know it can be scary. Myself and my sons have asthma.

I love it :)

Great job.

I envy the fact that you have it a shot. I don't think I would know where to start

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply toDolphin14

I didn’t know where to start either but I was so upset that I’d not had inspiration or motivation so I just said ok here’s the charcoal here’s the paper and I started using these half circle motions and they looked like a wing and a side of a head so I kept going. Im not at all finished but I had fun so far and I am actually working on it right now.

I'm so happy for you. I know you have wanted to get back in touch with your creativity.

I think you have it Star ❤️

Starrlight in reply toDolphin14

Thank you maybe 🤔 you are right I hope it continues as I find it hard to stick with things... there’s so much in life, you know? Not enough time or energy for it all 😆

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toStarrlight

Yes, life gets busy for sure.We do realize the importance of time to ourselves.

Getting your creativity flowing will be a great tool in your tool box as you continue to work on yourself.

I’m glad to hear you got past your block! It can be very annoying/defeating feeling sometimes. I’ve been slacking in the creativity department lately but spending time with my boyfriend has been very fulfilling and relaxing. Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder right? 😅

PS, this drawing is so cute!

Starrlight in reply togilded_masquerade

Yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder and certainly spending time with those we love is at the top of the list!

Wow..so unique

This isn’t “traditionally” creative, but I’ve begun planning a solo trip to Maine. I love the scenery of New England and I’m trying to hit all 50 states, so I’m excited to put my “creativity” to work in planning my trip.

Starrlight in reply toHeorge_Garrison

That’s awesome! I used to live in Maine. Now I live in VA ...Maine is for sure really beautiful! Happy planning
