My garden is showing off. All the blooms bursting open,
teasing with color mixes never before seen around these parts.
Roses boasting with size and abundance.
This morning's sunlight spotlighted a garden visitor.
Tucked tightly into the bottle brush blooms, a home
of twigs and strings and paper. Last year this was the nesting spot of
a mockingbird family. Not yet sure whose home it is this year. This is a
brand new nest of different shape and size, and obviously,
like all good real estate it has
location, location, location.
This visitor showed no fear of me, intent on a cool sip of water.
Going way down for the slurp
Begin the head tilt
Bring it way up, so it trickles back and downOpen for the big swallow...
HEY! Are you looking at me?
