My in laws have a wonderful porch with rocking chairs and hanging baskets. It's a lovely place to sit and enjoy the outside.
Two little momma birds have built nests in the hanging baskets.
One has three little eggs~
And the other has five~
It's hard to tell in the photos just how little the nests are. I'd say they're about five inches across at most, so you can imagine how tiny the eggs are. I think the momma birds are little finches.
I'm linking up with a few friday link ups. The theme at crazy days is critters. I figured my little eggs count as future critters, right?
A lovely porch to sit and pass time on! Those nests-with-eggs are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove porches!! Any shape. Any size. I'm a little surprised the mama bird lets you sit on the porch while she's watching over her 'critters!' :) Have a great weekend, Deb!!
ReplyDeleteAaahhh... I've always wanted a big front porch to hang ferns on! (silly, I know ;) Precious little eggs! (here via fab fri)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous little eggs, and what a perfect place to sit and relax.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great porch! If I were a bird, I'd find a home there too. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, to be sitting on a rocking chair in that porch. Looks like bliss!! And to have birds nests there too. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to get a great shot of baby birds in a nest, so make sure to do that for me- k? The egg shots are great. And I love that porch. I could sit out there all day on that. Thanks for joining Kristi and I for the Crazy Days of Summer!
ReplyDeleteThat porch is lovely. I haven't had any bird nests in my yard in over a year. We used to have a door thingie that they'd nest in but it took over our display so we took it down. I miss it.
