Comment: Hi Rome! I love your photo and information about the chickadee! I have never had a bird in my hand, does it feel strange? I have to say all of our birds seem to love black sunflower seeds! Right now everyone must be eating the cicadas, as my one feeder has been full for days, which is so unusual! All the best! Hugs, Happy Snapping, and Swapping! ;)
Response: That was a fun photo project. I loved having a reason to share that hand-feeding photo of mine. I loved that experience. It was a beautiful experience. The birds weight is barely perceptible while they are on your hand. The talons gently hold on. Then there's the whoosh of the wings as they arrive and leave.

Comment: I think I JUST saw the Birds-foot Trefoil on our way home from the campsite. I asked Lloyd to stop so I could take a look at the pretty yellow flower on the side of the road. I'm def going to try to get this app on my phone! Would have only said those white ones were daisies, lol! Very pretty flowers and so nice to know the names of them!
Response: The 'Scentless Mayweed' surprised me too. I always thought they were just "daisies". I took a couple of readings from a couple of different spots and got the same name. It's of the same family as the Daisy. The trefoil is really common on the boulevard of lawns. They like to cascade over the curbs. As far as lawn weeds go I think they're OK. They don't leave ugly sticks when they go to seed. They just seem to disappear. I think you will really enjoy the Seek app.

Response: It's an amazon box! :D I soaked the box and separated the layers. I used the flat part of the separated layers. Then used acrylics on my gelli plate along with a plastic grid piece I have that I think came from a hardware store, to make the grid marks. Thanks for noticing my weave. I like making paper weaves - it's a bit of a zen-like process for me. And, yes, just finished your section and drop it in the mail to Nicola. Don't wait for the next swap to start.

Comment: Hi Rome -- loved the pictures you chose and your explanations! The frog's eye view you chose for your picture of the nude statue gives a whole different dimension to the picture and makes it in my opinion more interesting than a straightforward shot would have done -- well spotted! The gingko leaves against the sky are beautiful and the picture is admirably sharp. Food photography is notoriously difficult and you've captured the cookies well. The Bon Echo reflection picture is lovely -- I've found myself going back to it several times. There's something very calming about it and the various shapes and lines work so well together. And a good shot of John McCrae. That strikes me as a difficult photo to take -- it's obvious that the statue is on a slight tilt in relation to the building behind it. I like your photo but wonder if it might be worth going back and exploring angles and tilts. Is it possible to get the building straight without tipping the statue? But I do like all of your pictures and am glad you enjoyed the swap!
Response: Really nice feedback on my photos. The McCrae background was especially constructive. I got a bit of tunnel vision there, not taking into consideration the background. An important photography point I will be aware of and apply for the next photo challenges. 📷😊🖼️

Response: Swappers love those glassine envelopes so I try to get one anytime I buy stamps. The generous staff will give me 2 but mostly they pretend they didn't hear me when I ask for two. =) So you are one of the lucky ones to get a canadapost glassine envelope. :D Thanks about my pink page. I had a flash of inspiration.

Comment: Thanks for the little books. The Valentine theme is already too full to close, and someone has already had to repair it. The thick paper it is made from plus all the additional paper added onto the pages hasn't been good for it. Three pages to go, hopefully it will hold together.
Response: I've been noticing that about the ICM decos. The larger decos seem to close better than the small decos, even when they use thicker paper and embellishments. I have to re-think ICMs. I really like the size, maybe I'll suggest regular computer paper thickness and only one page folded in half to give swappers 4 pages (6 if we count the inner covers) to work with.

Comment: Hi Rome, Absolutely fabulous pictures -- thank you so much for sharing them with me. I can't decide which one I like best -- the excellent picture of the carpenter bee (I spend a lot of time trying to photograph insects who fly away a milisecond before the shutter clicks!), the atmospheric graveyard, the lovely flowers, that wonderful rainbow or the fun of the Christmas band!

One doesn't see such a rainbow very often; you were fortunate to see that. Your photo of the musicians evokes such a happy vibe - sometimes those impromptu performances are the best.

Response: Same here. I know of Alanis but music after 1990 isn't really my thing. It was challenging. Then I remembered that I saw Alanis in the movie Dogma. So that made it more fun to create my page based on her role as God. :) Thanks so much for the heart. I hope you have fun with the Pearls of Wisdom deco too.

Response: Not especially tasty unless you like the taste of liquorice. I was intrigued by the history of the spirit. It is usually put in a fancy absinthe decantor which drips the spirit onto the sugar cubes. I saw the whole traditional set up on a television travel show featuring a bar in New Orleans.

It looks like your envelope got hung up in the machines on the end that had that deco. Everything inside made it okay.
Response: The bulky little deco is a nice one. I wonder if the owner, Stephanie, would be amendable to removing the middle page. The binding is a easy one to untie and re-tie. That way postage won't become an issue and she'll get her deco back sooner. Thanks for letting me know the machinery damaged my envelope.

Comment: Thanks for such an informative swap. Indigenous art is fascinating. Much stories and legends behind them, I believe. I didn't realise that the envelope was of the borealis. I've never experienced it before but I'd love to, someday. I kinda like the fact that the hues of the borealis is different there. So lucky u get to experience it. Thanks for checking out my lomohome! It's super expensive to develop film now. My film cameras are gathering dust! 😂 Till we swap again!

Comment: I love that you used a photo of the woods by your house, for this swap! The PO did some "creative carving" of the image, but most of it was ok. On one of my daily, 3 mile walks, in Wisconsin, during deer hunting season. A hunter stopped me to show me a coyote, he had shot. He said, on one of my earlier hikes, he had seen the coyote following me. Come to find out it was pretty sick. Stay safe and healthy! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Response: Eeeek. Being stalked is unnerving. I wonder if that's happened to me and I didn't realize it. Thankfully there have been no reports in my area (or province) of attacks on humans, but there have been attacks on dogs. Can't help but admire their beauty though. I'd probably feel different if one got too close. 😨 Thank you so much for the heart, I'm so glad you like my photograph (with the glued on coywolf).🤗

Comment: thank you! I wasn't 'bothered' I just didn't understand it. Wish your explanation you now give had been on it! I did like your drawing, just didn't know it was Canadian Since the back was about Mauritius in Africa
Response: Got your PM. I'm sorry that you didn't consider my Canadian Flag doodle and peaceful nation patriotic theme a good fit for this month's patriotic theme. The excerpt was something I read recently that relates to peace-related patriotism. Your PM says you are confused and asks me to clarify how it meets the theme. ---The back did reference Mauritius as an example of another peaceful nation and how peace can be accomplished--"respectful and careful in daily encounters with others...do not take peacefulness for granted...it must be cultivated and protected. Source: What Can We Learn from the World's Most Peaceful Societies? by PT Coleman, DP Fry". I included this excerpt on the back of the card. Canada is noted in this article as currently ranked as one of the most peaceful nations and something that makes me proud of Canada. Patriotism is defined as love for or devotion to one's country. It's just hard to put all of that onto the back of a postcard. ------ And the stylized Canadian maple leaf is symbol of Canada's 100th anniversary as a nation (designed by Stuart Ash). https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/1967-centennial-celebrations-emc It is the symbol I use as my avatar. I did a little stylizing of the triangles and yes it looks somewhat like a star. And yes, Canada does not have the word "peace" on its flag. I added that to emphasize the patriotic theme. Sorry to hear that it was confusing. Art can have that effect--and some like it, some don't. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51331926346_62abc276b0.jpg

So, my boss has thousands of people in her company. ;-) I am not a big fan of glitter, but it belongs to Christmas and I like it. Maybe for a third round this year........
Response: I have different levels of bosses. She's my immediate boss, aka my manager and has a small group of us to manage, only 4 of us under her. It was a lovely Papyrus card, I like Papyrus cards. I cut off the front of the card and glued it to the white cardstock. I was worried about the glitter, I know lots of people don't like glitter so I put my postcard in a plastic sleeve just in case you had allergies to the stuff. Thanks for rating me uiltje.

Comment: How great! The swan's eye-lasers really make this card. Before we moved away from Ontario 2 years ago we just had to check out the Stratford Festival once. We saw The Tempest and of course walked along the river to observe the swans.
Response: I'm so glad you like the quirky Stratford postcard. Next time I'm in Stratford I'm going to get some more. The shop is a handcrafted local artist store that was full of quirky stuff. It's so cool that you've been to Stratford. I've seen 2 plays there, so I feel more Canadian now. :) A walk along the river is a must-do too. Thanks for the heart bblue and thanks for creating the private swap.

But both you and efjellro dont's see the photos (I wonder if it's a browser thing). I just sent you a link.. I moved the photos to my Flickr account. Hopefully this time you can see the photos over on the Flickr site. If it doesn't work let me know and I'll try again tomorrow.

Comment: Thank you for sending your list of things you like to do. Unfortunately the photos didn't show, I'm not sure why :/ I found the Little Free Libraries interesting, I don't think we have that here. We have a book town though, it's in Fjærland. You might find it interesting :)
Response: There's something odd happening with the google photos links. I just sent a link to the Flickr account I moved the photos to. I hope that works. If not I'll try something different tomorrow. The photos really enhance the description (at least I think so :) ). I googled Fjaerland. What a beautiful little town. On netflix there's a train ride through Norway that I love to watch. Lots of tiny towns by the water. So beautiful. "It consists of various second-hand bookshops, some of them are combined with a café, art gallery and souvenirshop." That's my kind of small beautiful town.

Comment: Thank you for sharing! The Lovely Bones was one of the first movies I ever watched on Netflix. I don't think I've ever read the book, but I remember liking the movie. I wanted to see I, Tonya when it was in theatres, but I never made it, so it's good to know it's on Netflix. I think I have The Theory of Everything on my Netflix list, so looks like I know what I'm watching next! Thanx again!
Response: Thanks for the heart MrsKytes, I appreciate it. I'm glad my list of movies mesh with what you like to watch.

We dont have them here in BC but we have Stellers Jay, which is bigger and a real beautiful dark vibrant blue . I saw areal blue bird once when visiting in Alberta. So exciting for me lol peace love light
Response: Our barn swallows are a pretty blue. There's the Eastern BlueBird which is about the colour of the bird on the garage door. I've never seen an Eastern BlueBird. Then there's the Indigo Bunting which is a gorgeous cobalt blue. I have had the fortune to see one a few years ago in a park nearby.

Comment: Love love love the postcard you created! Awesome stamps and great design! Do you make your stamps out of craft foam or do you carve them that large? I've been wanting to try making craft foam stamps...kind of like Art Foamies - have you seen those...they're addicting (and I think they are from Canada...;)
Response: I'm so glad you like it. :) The biggest stamp was the frame and it's one stamp measuring almost 6"x4". I used the inner rubber material to carve some of the smaller images, so I didn't have a lot of waste. I use a rubber material called Nasco Safety-Kut. It's not the greatest, hard to carve and full of little bubbles but OK for folk art style chunky work. Go here for more information about carving material: https://www.atlasquest.com/about/wiki/browse.php?catId=12 I've never used Art Foamies. Just heard about them recently. They seem like they'd be good of chunky images.

Comment: Thank you for the great card. I don't really watch the stars but when my husband was alive we used to do a lot of camping and fishing at the state lakes and other lakes around here and I would love seeing the beautiful stars.
Response: Me too, I don't usually watch the stars. I have used one of those star/constellation/planet naming apps on my iPad. Used it a couple of times when I was in remote locations on a clear night. During those rare opportunities I'm amazed by the sheer density of stars and curious about the brightest stars. Technology is great for amateur (infrequent) stargazing. Thanks for letting me know my postcard arrived, and thank you for the heart. :)

Response: It was done with Photoshop. I had multiple layers of multiple images. Did a lot of cropping and removing backgrounds and then meshing things together. The leash was the most difficult part, I had to distort it so the perspective and fit looked right. I was pretty happy with the final result. It was a challenging and fun Photoshop project for me.

I remember the regular rotary dial phone; we had a party line and had regular battles with a neighbor who used to talk forEVER on it! I remember our wall phone in the kitchen with the long cord that could reach all over the room. I loved Green Acres, but apparently missed the episode that explained why they had to climb the pole to use the phone. Lol! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us! Happy swapping to you!!

Response: I'm too much of an introvert to join the Red Hat Society but I like seeing older women being sassy. I suppose it's not all that unusual these days, many older women have full and colourful lives. The Warning (red and purple) poem got me in a creative postcard making mood.

Response: Thanks for the 5 heart, Momskii. Since I sent that card I found one more book like the 3 I listed. It's a parody of the Griffin & Sabine books....Sheldon & Mrs. Levine. Funny postcards and letters between a tormented son and his mother. Funny, especially if you've read a G&S book.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely post card. After reading your note I had to look carefully at the picture before the woman revealed herself. Imagining Canada at 2 years old I wonder if it went through the “terrible 2’s stage that toddlers trod?😀
Response: Thank you. I'm so glad you liked the Voyageur postcard. She was an amazing artist. Canada is lucky to have her work. She stayed for a short time then went back to England. I imagine it was a tough lifestyle.

Comment: TIL Canada has an official tartan!
Response: There's a strong Scottish history in many parts of the country. The city I work in was founded by a Scot, and it has it's own official tartan (green and blue) registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans. Thanks for the 5-heart. :)

Comment: I love tartan too! My family's Scottish, our clan tartan is Cameron :)
Response: I've been to Scotland once and loved it. I love bagpipes - I've been in pubs a couple of times where bagpipers showed up to play a song or two. A lot of the towns in my province were founded by Scots. There's one that holds a very popular Scottish Festival every year. Yeah tartan!

Comment: The addition of pictures was a great idea! Your first car looks like my second car, which was a pale blue Valiant Ranger, a real beast of a thing that I owned for four years! Got to laugh: my first car was a Mini, what was your second? Avery enjoyable swap, thankyou!
Response: 2nd car was a Mitsubishi Colt.Little compact hatchback car. On the highway the engine sounded like a sewing machine. It was zippy. Lasted a long time. If I remember correctly it was road-worthy for 10 years at a time when most cars were lucky to get to 6 years. Thanks for the feedback MeggyMoo, I'm glad you liked this eSwap.
