Some Bunny's Dreaming

Mosaic bunny and flowers by Jeanne Selep
Mosaic "Some Bunny's Dreaming" Detail

My "Some Bunny's Dreaming" mosaic stepping stone was created in 2020 because a favorite 3D ceramic bunny broke and I wanted to try to reuse the pieces.  I ended up using sections of the ceramic bunny to make the rabbit in a circular stepping stone.

Mosaic Bunny Stepping Stone - "Some bunny's Dreaming"


I wanted the rabbit/bunny to appear to be whimsically dreaming of a Klimt-like field of flowers, and I had several plates in particular that I wanted to use.

One of the plates I really wanted to use had the Lilies of the Valley on it, which became the grass the rabbit sits on.  The other plate had the blue-purple flowers immediately above the rabbit's head, with a very spring-like green foliage and hand-painted with gold.  This plate had an Art Deco feel to it.

I also wanted to use hand-painted pink and yellow flowers from some orphaned teacup saucers, and I used various violet patterned china to fill in the rest of the flowers.

Arranging the landscape line in a circle was harder than I thought.  As I put the "grass" in the foreground, it was too low at first, and putting the grass behind the bunny caused the arrangement to became less whimsical and more like a landscape.

Different lighting, (for example bright sun) makes the mosaic texture stand out more.  Because the stepping stone has three dimensional parts, I placed it in a spot where (hopefully) it won't get stepped on.

A Winter's Tale - More Winter Birds

Junco in Winter near Rhododendron by Jeanne Selep
Junco in Winter near Rhododendron

When I saw this Junco sitting on a branch in front of my Rhododendron it was like seeing a living Chinese pen and ink drawing. This color was photo taken late in the afternoon on a gray winter day.  I snapped a couple of shots before the tiny bird flew off.  It was sub zero out (Fahrenheit) so I think that's why he gave me a couple of extra seconds. (So much time!)    


Junco in Winter by Jeanne Selep
Junco in Winter


Thinking "Chinese pen and ink", I intentionally tried to frame the photo to look like an artwork.   I cropped the photos to include lots of negative space.  (Something I frequently don't remember to think about.)  There is a term chiaroscuro that I think might also apply to the effect I was trying to get.

Then I spent hours in photoshop creating the image above - where the background foliage is gray compared to the Junco.  (I'm going to guess most people wouldn't have noticed the difference.)  Note: It shouldn't take hours, if you know what your doing, but I was dodging individual pixels, it seems.  In real life, the eye saw the bird very distinct from the background, but the camera metered and exposed the background and bird to even tones.  The bird did not blend in with the background foliage like in the first un-altered photo.


Eastern Bluebird by Jeanne Selep
Yellow Throated Vireo or Pine Warbler?

But back now to real birds.  This Warbler or Yellow Throated Vireo above was taken at the bird bath before I had my camera on a tripod.  The focus is sketchy, but I love the way the background is so unexpected for a natural bird subject (It's a mosaic bird bath base).  

Red bird

These birds have red on them!  One thing nice about the photos is that you can really study the birds to figure out what the bird is.  When they are darting about, you can't figure out if the beak is small, long, etc.  You can take your time with an identification book.  I will leave it as an exercise for the reader... (professors some times say that) - have fun! Let me know what you find.



Woodpecker at feeder
Downy Woodpecker at feeder

Above a Downy Woodpecker visits with some Warblers/Vireos.  See the seed falling from the feeder?  As the snow retreated about 20 pounds of birdseed appeared piled up under the feeders, and even the fat squirrels aren't interested in cleaning it up.  Anyone else have this problem?  I actually think that as the snow melts the birds go to newly uncovered food sources in areas where tons of birds haven't used the area above as a bathroom.

I have no idea what kind of bird this little one is.
(Here's to posting without research!)


(Please let me know in the comments if you know unidentified birds or if I have misidentified any birds.)

I'm super happy that my "bluebirds of happiness" post and my "winter garden post" both got lots of comments - each of them are over 50 comments and that is a new record for me!  Thank you!  I try to visit each site that comments.

A fun gardening note for gardeners: Identifying birds isn't that hard with a good photo. But how many of you gardening types would ever identify the plant in the background as a rhododendron? It's part of a winter tale here in Wisconsin. I've always wanted a winter garden, the type you see in Washington DC and other warmer places, with green leaves - holly and ivy and more - frosted with snow. So when I was in Minnesota decades ago, I bought (4?) hollys and a 'hardy' rhododendron that I figured would survive and thrive in my zone 5(ish) area.

The holly plants didn't make it (rabbits and more), but this rhododendron has survived and died (and reappeared) multiple times. Every winter the "green" leaves turn brownish and curl into (effectively) needles like on a pine tree.

Can you see the 7-8 (tiny) buds where the flowers will be in the photo above? They will bloom for less that a week, and then the plant will flail about awkwardly for the rest of the summer. I consider it my "Seussical" plant. Others have said to remove it, and it was once cut down as a weed, but I like my Seussical plant. My family insisted it never bloomed, (observant people they are) until I produced photos as proof of the plant's short and unimpressive blooming week(end). I have pursued a Winter Garden in my front yard you can see here with more success.

Bluebird Hot Tub Party

BlueBird of Happiness
Bluebird of Happiness

The phrase "bluebird of happiness" refers to the idea that seeing a bluebird is an omen of good luck, joy or happiness.  This concept has existed for centuries in European, Chinese, Russian, Native American and other cultures. I'm hoping this idea is true, because recently I have been seeing a whole lot of bluebirds.

In summer 2020, I put up a bird feeder to add activity outside my dining room window
.  As summer progressed the feeding birds were fun to watch. They were mostly LBB's as my sister calls them, Little Brown Birds.

Fall came, and I put up more feeders.  When winter came I figured out how to supply electricity to the heated birdbath I had owned for over a decade.  (i.e., I purchased a really long outdoor power cord.)   Wow, that made a difference once the snow began to fall.  Apparently birds like seeing open water.

I now have a large variety of birds in my backyard.  Most are still LBB's (little brown birds).  But the most exciting sight is a small flock of bluebirds that regularly visit the birdbath.

In decades of life in Wisconsin, I've almost never seen a real bluebird, and now 3-5 can show up for a daily hot-tub party.

Bluebirds are Flighty!

But they move fast and are SO flighty!  (No wonder they are considered hard to see!)  So I used wrapping paper to make a blind on part of my window, put my camera on a tripod, and here are some of the results. 
(The birdbath is about 6 feet from the window).  


Two male Eastern Bluebirds

My first photos (not shown) highlighted how dirty the birdbath was, so I had to go out in the snow and scrub the birdbath down for better photos.  (I had to "style" the birdbath).  And I need to add water almost every day when it's zero degrees Fahrenheit out, but the birds make the effort worthwhile. 

Female Eastern Bluebird by Jeanne Selep

Despite the blind, the birds seem aware that I am there.  The ability to actually stare at my photos (since the actual birds move so fast) makes me feel happy - my bluebirds are looking at me!  I want to protect these tiny creatures who can handle -5 degrees Fahrenheit, in a world where the climate is changing faster than we can comprehend.  


Bluebird and reflection
Bluebird drinking and Reflection

I love how the little bluebird above has a drop of water on his beak.  The reflection and spreading water droplet turned out well.  He is a male Eastern bluebird.  Western bluebirds have blue all the way around the neck. 
(I found this site great for bluebird identification and maps, bird song recordings and bluebird information.)

Since my post is about bluebirds, I thought I would share two vintage postcards featuring bluebirds that I have in a collection of vintage cards.

1920s Vintage bluebird postcard 514
Vintage postcard 1 - with Bluebirds and nest

I like the sweet graphics and cute sentiments found on the old cards.  One is postmarked 1922, the other says 1920(?).

I'm also sharing two vintage porcelain birds I've had for quite some time.  I used to think the shape was exaggerated, but now I see what the artist saw.

My photographs show round fluffed out little birds that seem to match the shape of the sculpted figures.

I hope sharing my photos of these "bluebirds of happiness" will bring you good luck and joy.  After all, you are now seeing them too.

Maybe this is a sign that the pandemic will pass soon?  We can only hope...  Until then, stay safe and warm!
