Birds Nest

American Robins, the red breasted bird, mark the return of Spring.
The cheerful singing of the male robins wakes us up each morning

This beautiful nest we found in a tree next to our front porch: Nature at its best!
What a true work of art this is!

It's placed in the crotch of our tree 5 feet above ground. The nest is made of grasses, a middle layer of mud, then lined with fine grasses.
I will keep you posted!


Dear friends,
Due to a right hand injury I can't paint already for 5 weeks.
(spontaneous rupture of my knuckle's tendon...)
My hand is resting in an (uncomfortable) splint, trying to heal.

I commiserate with you I also have my right hand bound up (trying to be a heel ), and I would like to be painting, instead of panting in this new summer heat. You are all about nature since you got your grand daughter, but it's a lovely picture.

It's nice to see nature doing this way. We don't have these birds as you know and to me they look like eastereggs. I hope the robin wakes you each morning with its song

Terrific photo of a true work of art found in nature. My best to you to heal your hand. It sucks when you can't do the thing that really makes you happy. I have been outside my box lately, until my knee is in hiking shape. I'm just losing patience... :-( Take care of yourself, dear Olga!!
