Those birds in the tree are so cute and I love the sun and clouds behind. You blend blues so well.

The little birdies transport me right to my bedroom because I hear them every morning, chirping away out there. They seem to think it's spring already... I just hope they do not start laying eggs already or they might be in for a grisly surprise when winter finally does kick in. Anyhow!! Did I mention I like your card, too?!

Happy Birthday to the wonderful Miss Ros. Sorry I'm late ( I'm trying to be fashionable 😉 ). Hope you are having a lovely day today. That tree and birds and just gorgeous. Love the sun and clouds too. Hope your day is more filled with the former and less of the latter! x
