Saturday Self-challenge: Memento
Being that it is Father's Day weekend here in North America I found this little treasure to share this week. I got this for Father's day one year as I would spend a lot of time perusing the newspaper in the bathroom. I found out that I was not the only person who did that. I still do, but now it is using the tablet and checking out news, twitter, etc.

I found this black ribbon in a junk drawer and played around with it until I settled on this finished product.

White-breasted Nuthatch

We had a surprise visit to one of our bird feeders. It was the first time observation for me. A White-breasted Nuthatch. This is a typical position for them to feed. The work down a tree, unlike woodpeckers who have the tail feathers to support them going up a tree.

Macro Monday: Brush
I put two snow brushes, the type one uses to clear the car of snow, one behind the other. These two have seen a lot of snow over the years.

This metronome was brought back to Canada from France when my mother-in-law returned from studying piano in Paris over 60 years ago.

Saturday Self-challenge: Album Cover
I had a photograph of a Merlin (bird) this week and I found some lyrics by The Moody Blues that mentioned Merlin (wizard). "Are You Sitting Comfortably?' from the album On the Threshold of a Dream.

Lyrics:
Take another sip my love and see what you will see,
A fleet of golden galleons, on a crystal sea.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.
Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been,
The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen.
It all unfolds before your eyes
As Merlin casts his spell.
The seven wonders of the world he'll lay before your feet,
In far-off lands, on distant shores, so many friends to meet.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.
