Another pop-up card—this time in turquoise and lime green. Note the embossed, distressed wood texture, subtle coliur gradients in the leaves, and tiny gems. The patterned background is leftover wrapping paper.

An Osprey parent bringing back breakfast, an orange koi. There's an adult on the nest (on the right with yellow eyes), along with four nestlings (three easily seen, another one tucked in in the back.) I'm pretty sure someone's fancy fish pond has been a popular fishing spot for these Osprey.

A male Eastern Bluebird on the lookout for insects to hunt down. While reviewing my photos I realized there is a young Eastern Bluebird in the upper left, keeping a close eye on Dad.

Young Great Blue Herons have been testing their wings and leaving their nests, and these two landed on nearby tree. They were working hard to keep their balance, while also seeming to try to knock the other bird off the tree top with their wings.

Hi, it's a great photo! I looked in my butterfly and moth guides, it looks like a type of Hawk moth, but I can't see a photo exactly like it - I hope someone will be able to identify for you ☺️🤞

thank you so much, Marguerite, I painted a few layers on the bird to build up the feathers and the colour, then painted a pale watery wet-in-wet background ☺️
