Enjoy a cup of coffee at your table overlooking the garden while watching the amazing hummingbirds. Motion detector lights guide you to your entrance in the evening. This photo reflects the sky and plants in our garden. An entrance cover protects you from the elements while entering and leaving. The studio is full of light, even in December. |

Frequent visitors to the birdfeeder and the yard include Chickadee, Goldfinch, Downy Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, Bushtit, Robins, Crow, Spotted Towhee, Townsend's Warbler, Steller's Jay, an occasional Pileated Woodpecker, Anna's Hummingbird, Band-tailed Pigeon, Cooper's Hawk, and Sharp-shinned Hawk. A walk through Seahurst Park to Puget Sound provides occasional sightings of native squirrels (versus the Grey imports), and other birds and chipmunks and sea birds. |
