Wish You Could Scratch Your Back This Easily?
Wish You Could Scratch Your Back This Easily?
Originally uploaded by Our Enchanted Garden
This American goldfinch, now sporting his fine spring colours preens himself in the birch tree in our front garden. the garden is planted to resemble a sub-alpine meadow and has a variety of specimens that produce seeds the finches love to eat, including the flowers on this birch tree!
They're a favourite in the garden, adding their bright yellow spashes to the gardenscape and the male's song this time of year is quite melodic and ever so pleasant to listen to! Maybe I'm a female goldfinch in another dimension giving me an affinity for them! he! he!
It sure would be fun to be as flexible and agile as these little birds!

My Zazzle Gallery
Showing off my gallery! Featuring Our Enchanted Garden photos and artwork; Zazzle.com/ourenchantedgarden*!
I'll be building up a collection of items from some of my best photographs and whimsical work over the next several weeks! The flash player doesn't fit as nicely as I'd like here on this blogger layout and that may prompt me to make some adjustments to my blog, the player still works great and refreshes as I add new products to the gallery so I'll leave it in regardless.
Check it out! What do you think?
Eventually a full season of holiday and special occasion themes will be developed with something appealing to anyone! Also watch for products on topical current issues; the environment, peace, the changing seasons.
*Please Note, currently these products are most easily available in the United States. Canadian purchases to be shipped to Canada would most likely be subject to customs & tariff charges which will increase your cost, sorry for the inconvenience!
Updates and news on product availability in other countries will be posted here, as we discover and develop them!

Some Things Can Only Happen In Winter
Some things can only happen in the middle of winter and that makes me smile because I can be reminded how truly special and unique each day is.
So while I am looking forward to the passing of winter and the warmth that spring promises I'll be patient and enjoy the beauty that winter's unique perspective creates around me.
The Frozen Elegance against a beautiful blue background.
The Image of a tree adorned in her finest winter dress. A fleeting beauty that quickly disappeared under the glare of winter sunlight.
Thanks again for the reminders Mother Nature, and I'll still look to spring fondly, if you don't mind!

Meet Fred, an algae eater
Dear Fred the Placastamus
He's been getting used to the aquarium which has been running for over a month now. Seems to be quite comfortable in his new home.
I think I'll have fun and experiment with taking shots of the tank as the fish develop. Fred has some spiny fins that I hope to capture in a good photo. Will use my tripod to keep the image more in focus! I might even remember to clean the tank on the outside before I shoot next time!

- I celebrate nature, the natural world and the human spirit immersed within it. My passion is in sharing the simple reminders the garden and nature share with me. Through my photographic adventures I've learned something we humans often overlook; We are a part of Nature, not apart from it! That we are human spirits immersed within this magical, miraculous and beautiful world. Understanding this fundamental truth has been changing my life in lovely ways. I look forward to and welcome further developments this focus provides and hope you might be inspired to reconnect with the natural world around you!
I have a website where you can see some of my featured photos, some images are available to download to your computer for your personal use. Come explore at Our Enchanted Garden You can also visit our Zazzle Gallery here;Our Enchanted Gardenfor a selection of products featuring our enchanting images in note cards, greetings, mugs, magnets, and stationery with more products added daily.
