Theme Day: June 1, 2011 - Under Construction


HOME SWEET HOME!

After the construction of this nest, on May 14th I posted Mama Robin sitting on the finished product. A friend of mine used that photo and made two fantastic cards for me!!  I added another shot of her when she looked a little malevolently at my intrusion.  (Click to enlarge the bottom photo to see the expression on the face of the robin!)

  7. Love the robin's expression underneath the expression on the gargoyle! I like how you and Sarasota DP chose animal construction pictures rather than human!

  8. I love your take on this theme. I watched a house wren make a nest just last weekend and never even thought of it for this month's Theme Day.

  10. Hi Kate. Happy theme day. I posted a similar photo of a birds nest some time back. As you found, if momma bird is around this can be a risky photo challenge.

  11. Now why didn't I think of using nest building for my photo. I totally forgot that I have several photos like that. There is always a nest being built at the Desert Botanical Garden when I go.

  15. I love bird nests. When I taught, I had a big collection. I had one that had curling ribbon in it and another with a cigarette filter.

  16. Great idea! I love the way the robin is posing for the picture.

  17. Excellent, Kate. This year it seemed like there were so many birds around that some of them had to pick precarious locations like this for their nests. We have been having wonderful bird choirs chirping away in Hartford.

  18. You and Jarart in Prescott shared the creativity to think of nature's construction. Well done.

    Regarding your post yesterday, there seems to be a trend among wineries to have an outdoor brick oven for cooking pizza and space for people to eat lunch while touring wineries. Several of them in Napa, Sonoma, and Shenandoah Valley wine touring areas of California do that.

    Sorry your link is not working. You might try again pasting the link in the html mode, and saving it, then testing it in your preview mode, and the link should take you back to the Daily Photo portal. I always test mine that way to see in advance if they will work.

  22. Oh what a wonderful photo for the theme, Kate. Love them both. So glad I clicked on the small one. She looks most put out - if only she knew how famous she is now - but I know she'd not care...

  23. Well done, that girl. Errrr... you know what I mean
