Post Tropical Storm Arthur

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
C. S. Lewis

We found this robin's nest in our grapevine the day after post tropical storm Arthur came through in July. They remained in the nest for twelve days and then were gone.

A Bird in the Hand

A bird in hand is a certainty. But a bird in the bush may sing.~~ Bret Harte

This little guy was fitting about the grass early this morning, just learning to stretch his wings, just learning to fly.

Robin's Nest

“If I can stop one heart from breaking I shall not live in vain If I can ease one life the aching or cool one pain or help one fainting robin unto his nest again I shall not live in vain”~~Emily Dickinson
