I have a mother of pearl bird that my mother-in-law brought me from Mexico. It is so delicate and I love the way the light hits it from any angle. I'm a big bird lover anyway so I have several small collectible birds. However, speaking of birds, they have eaten almost all of our grapes we just noticed. That is not a good thing! (for us, -- it's great for them! I hear a very vocal/happy mockingbird out there today - running on grape fructose no doubt) We'll figure something out by the time the next crops sprouts again next summer. Maybe we'll need a scarecrow...

The mother-in-law of whom she speaks is my mom...we lost her last year. So, the picture of this precious little bird truly has a great deal of meaning to me. Thank you, Camille. With hugs and love.
