Shady Characters

“Mom, let’s see how Daisy looks in a pair of sunglasses!”

Sunglasses on Daisy Dog
Mason got the biggest kick out of putting his sunglasses on Daisy, and Daisy didn’t seem to mind too much.

Good buddies.

Happy May Day, everyone!

Those of you who know us well know that Mason’s nickname is “May” (short for Mason). On this first day of May, otherwise known as May Day, I’m sharing some of my favorite photos of Mason since last May Day. I’ve shared some of these photos here at Corbett Capers, and some are coming out of the archives for the first time.

Hard to believe it’s been a whole year since last May Day! It’s fun to look at last year’s photos and see how Mason has changed.

Happy May Day!

Spring Photos – Four Years Apart

Spring Pictures 4 Years Apart
For some reason, I’ve been thinking lately about how quickly children grow up. Not that Mason is anywhere close to being “grown up,” but seeing the vast difference in his photos from even just four years ago is amazing to me.

I’m trying to enjoy every minute.

Birdbath Visitors

The Corbett backyard birdbath was quite popular today. Mason and I had such fun watching quite a variety of species visit in just a ten-minute span of time.

First, a male house finch stopped by:

Then a bluebird (a rare sight in our backyard). Do you see the mockingbird waiting on the edge?

This isn’t the clearest picture, but there were 3 birds in the birdbath at one time, with one (sparrow? wren?) waiting on the branch above.

I’m not sure why the birdbath was so popular today, but perhaps it was a great way to wash off some of the pollen we’ve been plagued with around here lately.
