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.Ann Fawssett-Atkin 23 May 2011

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 songAnneke Hut 23 May 2011

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!!
