Helpful Posts: Just for fun.
Our company has a plant stand on premises that is run by some of the intellectually disabled/developmentally disabled folks we serve. One of the tasks that they do, is to plant flowers in hanging baskets for sale. Apparently, a robin thought one of the baskets was a safe and secure place to build a nest.
These pictures are just snaps, but it was a good occasion for me to practice operating my camera.
C&C please if you will. Otherwise, simply enjoy.

Re: A face only a mother could love
Awww, Izzie!!!
Deceased? I know how you love animals. That must be hard.
The staff have actually purchased worms to feed the adults and babies. The seem to be about 4 birds in the nest. 2 sleep and 2 eat, then the other 2 eat while 2 sleep. The adults seem grateful.
They have actually eaten the worms provided to them.

Dear Binnur,
Thank you for looking and commenting. Watching even baby birds hatch and grow is life affirming.

Dear Kim,
I think, any kind of birth, then watching babies thrive and grow gives us a renewed sense of purpose and renewal.

Re: A face only a mother could love
Good morning, Raymond!
I did have to adjust the WB a bit. It was a bit on the warm side.
Thank you for your comments.
Marie
