Holly Nest

The robin's have started gathering, nest building and laying their eggs. It is always a fun little springtime game of mine to find the first one and discover the wonder of the washed light aqua that awaits my gaze. I was fortunate to find just such a treasure today, in our large holly bush. Three little gems are inside and I will be out tomorrow hopefully to get a great snapshot or two. Why is it that they are always just above my head so I have to stand on my toes with the camera in the air? I think it is their way of getting back at me invading their privacy, making me look like a fool for the next couple of weeks. I can take it because the transformation is a treat I await for every spring!
