We put three bluebird boxes up over a year ago in the hopes of attracting a bluebird family, after I spotted a bluebird pair in January of 2009. There had been no occupants until I noticed a blue "flash" this past weekend. Lo and behold, all three boxes are occupied! I have so enjoyed watching the activity in our back yard the past couple of days.
Nature has given us a beautiful gift in the bluebirds.
Pink and purple lupines are a splash of color against the new green grass.
Nature left a heart to bring a smile to one's face.
There is something beautiful about the simple daisy....it bravely holds its head high.
These lupines were a deep, cobalt blue color. A stunning splash of color amongst a field of lobster traps.
In the stillness and shadows of a Preserve a merry group of trilliums turn their faces towards the light.
A splash of color in my garden, how can one not smile at its simple beauty?
The lovely butterfly enjoyed the rhododendron bushes....please come back again!

Hi Cheryl,
How can one not smile at the lovliness of your pictures? I've never heard of bluebird boxes. What fun to have three families to watch! All the flowers are so pretty.
I hope you had a nice Memorial Day and that all is well (hope you're not having too much pain)!

Beautiful spring is in the air, Cheryl.. i really love to see all these in real one day..
Aren't bluebirds wonderful? I just love them. The lupine are breath taking. Thanks for the colorful trip to your world. Beautiful.
love the flowers!
Cheryl,
You have the knack of taking lovely, inspiring pictures, and I love all the heart-shaped things that you keep finding :). Great bluebird pics, btw!
Lovely Lupines, Cheryl. I love the butterfly also... AND---the fact that you have so many bluebirds is WONDERFUL... Keep me posted. My bluebird box is still empty.... Sigh!
Hugs,
Betsy
what lovely spring photos. love the colors and three families of bluebirds? spring is here!
Those beautiful pictures brighten my day.Daisies are my most favorite flower. It is impossible to look at that pic of daisies and not feel some little bit of happiness.
There is just something special about Bluebirds, they truly are birds of happiness, I guess! The babies fledged here, about a week ago! They will have another nesting though.
The Lupines and rhododendron are beautiful, Cheryl and of course I share your love of finding hearts!

Very pretty! The birds are wonderful. We have quite a few cardinal pairs in our area that provide our color. We don't see many bluebirds. Yours are so pretty!
Beautiful header!!! I am so happy for you with your Bluebirds they are so gorgeous are't they!!! Hope all these beautiful thing around you are helping with your health issues!!!!
I have never seen a Blue bird here in northern MAine. They are just gorgeous. All your pic are beautiful. I love the Lupines, the colors are so delicate. We have a woodpecker close by, I never see him, I only hear him!
Hugs, Kathleen
Me? I am coming back again for your lovely photos.
Nice to see the blurbird. You plants are gorgeous too.
Is there a particular type of bird house that is for blue birds? We are new to the bird viewing community and we are enjoying the birds here in the mid west. We are mesmerized much of the time as we watch all the antics of the various birds.
How sweet - those bluebirds occupying your boxes! The are indeed a gift.
I'm a fan of cobalt blue colour like that of the lovely lupins and I'm always delighted by the smiling shape of the daisies.
You put a smile on my face reading this post. The pictures are all so beautiful. I've never seen blue birds so if I were to see one in person, I'd be so happy :) Love the last butterfly pix.
nice to see birds coming to the house....I have some small trees a the back of my house....like to watch bird hopping on the branches.
This is so beautiful, Cheryl. I do especially love that last butterfly photo. It looks so bright, sunshiny and happy! What a glorious day you had! We saw lupines in Canada. They're so pretty!
I love the lupines. So my friend is not the only person to grow lupines. When she grew them, her neighbour asked her why she was growing a wild plant.
Hi Cheryl, your beautiful, creative pictures always brings sunshine to us....There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
You have a pleasant weekend and keep a song in your heart, Lee.
These are lovely!
hi Cheryl, the blossoms of spring is so beautiful!
Hi Cheryl,
I too am from Maine. Oxford County area. Lovely photos you've taken, very talented I'd say.
Hope your fibromyalgia is under control. I have arthritis from Lyme disease I got in the late 80's (I was this MD's first case). I've found that Tai Chi really helps keep me loose, and in less pain. Hope you'll stop by my blog and say hello.
Hi all...Thank you all for your nice comments. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the photos. I love to take photos so others can enjoy! And welcome to my new followers...I will be stopping by your blogs in the next few days!
beautiful birds...love the butterfly....
Wow. What a beautiful post!
I think your trilliums might actually be Canadian Dogwood, a very special plant indeed. And, oh, to have bluebirds nesting in your boxes. How special is that!
Awesome set of photos. So pretty. We finally have a nesting pair of bluebirds, for the first time ever, but I have yet to be able to get photos as good as yours.
