GETTING BACK TO BASICS: No Vacancy

No Vacancy

For the past two years this "Birdy Condo"

has been home to a family of

Tree Swallows.

Mommy Swallow nurturing her eggs or fledglings

... although I have yet to hear any chirping

so I suspect they are still eggs.

Dad is keeping a watchful eye in

case anyone tries to

mess with his family!

Yep! He's not missing anything.

How does a family happen?

This photo from Wikipedia shows how they get the job done.

Hey...I'm branching out from flower and insect porn to birdie porn.

Birdie porn! Hahahahaha.

It's so fun to keep an eye on a nest and watch for the babies to appear.

Have a great weekend, jj

My thoughts are my own, tucked away in the recesses of my mind. Sometimes I write them down for later viewing, only to ask myself, "What the hell was I thinking?"
-Marisa

I dwell in possibility...
-Emily Dickinson

If my button falls off
I sew it back on.

If I loose my button
I look for a matching one
to replace it.

If I can’t find a matching one,
I take off all the remaining ones
and sew new buttons on.

On wishes...

As you think, so you are. As you dream, so you become. As you create your wishes, so they create you.
-Wendy Garrett

Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves.
We must learn to respect them.
We must learn to listen.
-Sarah Ban Breathnach

If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets into the sea.
-Eric Bogle

Wish in one hand, shit in the other,
see which one gets full first.
-My Dad

On life...
We all can dance, when we find the music that we love.

The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
-George Bernard Shaw

"A little while and I will be gone from among you, whither I cannot tell. From nowhere we came, and into nowhere we go. What is life? It is as a flash of a firefly in the night. It is as the breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." - Crowfoot, chief of the Blackfoot Indians (1890)
