Pink Diamond Birdo
Did you know that pink Diamonds are one of the rarest gemstones on earth?
Well, I don’t own one, but Birdo painted one.
This Birdo looks a lot like a baby Blue Jay, but feel free to correct me, as I’m a bit off when it comes to nature studies.
However, Inese, at Inese Photography is not challenged. Her nature posts are true gems.
This post is to thank Inese for her Puffin Post contribution to Kids’ Month.

Read, Watch & Travel
Reading is wonderful!
Watching TV, whether series, movies, music videos, virals or documentaries is entertaining and relaxing. Networked, streamed or on DVD is fab.
Toronto’s Red Rocket (public transportation) won’t take you across the ocean, but it symbolizes traveling from here to there.
Ste J Reviews covers all.

Urban Hummingbird
This fabulous hummingbird is part of a massive mural in Toronto’s east end Chinatown.
How perfect to thank Cindy Knoke for her contributions to Kids’ Month.
After all, Cindy is the winner of the best and most hummingbird posts, ever!
Of Course the mural is not all about the hummingbird.
There are more aspects to this beautiful work.
Such as this flower at the opposite end, or are they leaves that look like a flower?
Mountain peaks and
… and mountain terraces to a shrine.
It was very difficult to shoot this with my IPhone.
The pic above is cropped. I had to stand quite far away to capture it in 1 piece.
Well, maybe it is all about the hummingbird, and its flower!

Jackson Beardy
Jackson Beardy – July 24, 1944 – December 8, 1984
Raised early on by his Ojibway grandparents, Jackson was removed from his home as a child and placed in the government’s controversial “Residential Schools” program.
In 1970, Jackson and his family were forbidden entrance to the National Arts Centre gala in Ottawa. The show, commemorating Manitoba’s centennial, featured Jackson’s work.
In 1972 Jackson and six more native artists formed the “Professional Native Artist Association”. This has come to be known as “The Indian Group Of Seven”.
In 1985, the year after his death, 2 murals were painted in his honor. Based on prints of Jackson’s, they have since been restored and repainted. Read all about the Jackson Beardy Mural
You can read about Jackson’s life on the “Native Art in Canada” website.

A Cat & Dogs
The cat seems nervous, but holds its own in a world of dogs.
Above and below blow up nicely!
I’m a cat person, and I adore dogs.
