walk on a beautiful day || found a baby bird!

Hello Lovelies!

Last weekend my guy and I took a walk and found this super sweet baby bird!
Now, this was a cute baby bird. I had a nest on my porch with baby robins. Not cute. They looked like foreign alien dinosaur birds. Yea...gross. I did not take pictures of them. xP

But this baby bird was a yellow finch baby bird! So cute and little, we almost stepped on it! That's how tiny it was!
Michael let it climb onto a stick so as not to touch it, and it just sat there for awhile.

We continued on our walk and on our way home we checked on him. He was still sitting in the grass and I was worried that some animal would come along in the night and get him. So we went home, grabbed a paper towel, and heroic Michael scooped him up and stuck him in a nearby bush to give him more of a fighting chance. (even though he thought it was a little silly not to let nature take its course. He humored me. :) )

I haven't seem him since, but I'm sure he survived! :)


Have a lovely week!

personal: birthday surprise!! || chicago, il

I took my boyfriend Michael downtown to Chicago for his birthday. I planned everything that day as a surprise. And he was surprised!

We ate a picnic breakfast at the station and then off we went! When we got to Chicago we took a water taxi to the Mag Mile. We did a little shopping, eating, swimming and watched the Buckingham Fountain water and light show. It was wonderful!!

Isn't he cute?! :)

Trying to make the pic look like I'm holding the fountain in my hand.....fail.

Tired after a long and fun day!!!
