We have lived on this property for nearly 21 years now and each year we have a group of eagles nest in the trees in the hill behind the house. We started with two and there are now six. It appears their offspring are happy with their parents nesting site too.
And now for a bird of another type. I have recently done a swap with Gaby of Colourful Adventures (her ATC's are truly beautiful). I am getting quite a collection of her gorgeous ATC's from a couple of swaps we have done recently. I will have to take a photo of them for you, but really you should check out her blog.... so much detail. Gaby requested a fabric ATC for our swap...I hope she likes this little fellow.
This is my latest Klimt Doll for a swap with Mieke in the Netherlands. I hope she likes this doll made especially for her. Sorry the photo is not the best, the colours are a bit washed out... and looks much better in real life. She is winging her way to the Netherlands as we speak.
And just for a bit of fun, this is one of our dogs (we have 3!!!!). This is Leroy and he is nearly two years old. He is the most beautiful and gentle soul and we love him to bits... doesnt he have the sweetest face? I took this shot of him as he waited patiently while I took photos of the eagles....and I was worried he would scare them off...He knew to sit very quiet and still.
I hope your week is bright and cheery and I will leave you with this lovely quote that I found on my sister Lee's blog recently!

Hello Jacky!
I cant believe you have eagles nesting at your home, you are so very lucky!!! The nearest I got to dramatic wildlife was a few years back when I lived in Exeter (Devon) and there were Peregrine Falcons nesting on the church down our street...but I think your eagles win hands down!!
Love your swap doll, absolutely amazing!! You are so talented!
Sending love

Jacky - how wonderful that you have eagles living at your home! And that they keep coming back too.
Love the ATC you created for Gaby and your Klimt doll for Mieke is lovely (and I love the artistic shot of it next to those yummy buttons).
Leroy is such a sweetheart. A mellow big fellow. How sweet that he was quiet when you took the photo of the eagle. Beautiful boy.
Looking forward to seeing you and the girls on Saturday.

Good thing leroy is bigger...I have heard the wedgies take off with the small fluffy ones, thinking they are rabbits or lambs or something.. that would not be funny.
I hope we get to see the eagles on Saturday Jacky, can you make a booking for us. Leroy looks a sweetie and your artworks are fabulous.
jacky, leroy looks like a saint... his patience is radiating from him! and the eagles! wow... they're beautiful and so different from our bald eagles. i always feel honored when i see them.
mieke will love this doll... (is she a reader too? ; )

I have never seen eagles like this! How wonderful that you shared this picture... and your reations are lovely, and your soulful dog is adorable. Roxanne
I've just been admiring the wonderful birds that visit Patty's garden, then I came to you and saw eagles!! You are very fortunate to have such amazing creatures close by.
Your ATC and Klimt doll are both lovely Jacky...and Leroy looks like a real sweetheart!

I've always had a great interest in birds of prey, eagles being a favorite - excellent photo I think. It is amazing that they stayed on the log for a photo op! We have a rescue group in my state that shelters eagles who have been injured and can't fly any more. It is amazing to go see them in the natural habitat that has been set aside for them so they can live out their lives in safety and peace.
Leroy is precious, he is very handsome too :) Lucky you to have him Jacky. Best, Ani
This fabric ATC is absolutely stunning, Jacky! Can't wait to add it to my collection!!!
I have never seen eagles like this. Really wonderful birds. Thanks for sharing this pic!
Your new Klimt doll is fabulous as always.
What a cute Leroy dog you have:-)
Sending big hugs,
