We are a little behind the traditional calendar beginning of Summer here, but then the weather in Vancouver hasn't exactly been convincing us of the shift in seasons recently. Finally we have converted our window paintings from spring blossoms and bulbs to bird and butterfly infested green goddesses.
Not entirely sure what birds we have here, though one may be vaguely based on the local blue beauty 'Stellars Jay'. Boo called one of the others a 'crow', but its magenta, so I'm not entirely sure myself.
Boo had the splendid idea of making some green grass at the bottom using some green ribbons/wool from her beloved 'ribbon box' (this girl was a jackdaw in a previous life).
The butterflies became a little oversized but who wouldnt love them to be really that big?!
We have done a full cycle now: Autumn; Winter; Spring; Summer and I have to say the appeal has been enduring for Boo, who was shown great enthusiasm for each change. Will we keep them for another year? Undecided yet. But for now we will enjoy the fluttering and twittering by our dining table!
