I was sitting in a chair by the window
when I heard a sharp tapping on the glass.
I turned to see what the noise was and
this friendly American Goldfinch was
on the window ledge looking in at me.
As I came closer to the window he
flew into my lavender flowers 
about ten feet away.
He came back several times to tap
on the glass and then fly into 
my lavender plants.
What a pleasant surprise and 
a nice little blessing to start the day.

This dainty Blue Italian Spode Pitcher
is just five-inches tall ..  Made in England ....
with ceramic pottery markings of genuine Spode.
It is interesting to read that Blue Italian Spode
dates back to 1816 and yet is still made today ..
and is considered a design icon
                 
Orchids number twice as many
 species compared to birds
and an amazing number of people
enjoy growing orchids ..
This lovely Orchid stem brings
its beautiful flower blooms
and accompanying leaves to the painting.
