Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

A Perfect Site..........
I have a robin's nest on my step ladder. It is high enough that I really can't get a photo of the eggs but I will return to see it again when it isn't so cold outside. The step ladder was in my dad's garage stored in the rafters. It's original owner could be a construction company as my late brother probably, permanently borrowed it. I brought it home as no one in the Osceola area really wanted it. I didn't really want it but I thought it might come to use someday. I can't put it in the shed as it is too tall so I hung it on the supports of the outside of the garden shed. It isn't pretty but it solved the storage problem so far. I am going to paint the south side of my house this summer so I will be using it for sure.
While out taking pictures in the cold wind this morning I saw a robin fly away from the area and when I checked it out there was the nest. It is filled with scrap plastic from the neighborhood, leaves and sticks. I saw one robin the other day pulling wet leaves out of my fish pond and I am sure it is sturdy being woven through with wet leaves. I had robins try to build under the roof before but the ledge proved to be narrow under there as a sideways board is only 2 inches wide. I think that next fell off the ledge while it was being made.

How lovely to have a nest so close.
I was surprised to read this, I thought the temps were too cold for the eggs.
How sweet! You should have some babies soon.
