Day 3 - Nest Watch

A sneak peek at Mama Robin's eggs.


Colin held the extension mirror and I took the picture. It's very windy today and the tree is whipping around. Mama is sitting tight.

Robin Baby Moma


A robin took up residence in the tree outside my study window. There was one egg yesterday. Today the rain is coming down and mama is hunkered down.

My Really Big Tinker Toys

When I was a kid, I loved to play with Erector sets, Girders and Panels, Tinker toys, and even Lincoln Logs. As an adult, I have discovered the wonders of PVC pipe. I made this frame to cover with fabric to provide backgrounds for photos.

Pretty cool, huh?
