RRPC...Growing

I was so excited when I read about this challenge. I can't believe I am came up with something that might be used. YEA! So, the challenge is to photograph something that is growing...something, anything. I had plans to show you how our grand children have grown over the past year. I had even more plans to show you all the things that are growing in our yard. I thought about posting pictures of Michael and Sarah when they first came to live with us...all these sounded great but when I took this picture the other day with Luke's help...I knew I was going to use it. Let me begin at the beginning...We have had several nests of baby birds in the last few months. Luke, our buddy next door, has had none...that is until we hear baby birds crying. It took a little while for us to figure out where the nest was. Finally one day I noticed a bird that kept going in and out of the top of the basketball hoop pole...only about 10 feet off the ground. It was way taller that I could reach. So, Mr John had his ladder out and Luke and I asked if we could borrow it. We movedthe ladder as close to the pole as we could...flower bed got in the way...and you know how I am about my flowers. We both climbed the ladder and found this nest about 1/3 of the way down the pipe. I have no idea how these baby birds are going to continue to live in this small space and how in the world are they going to ever fly out...they will have to fly straight up and out. I just thought they angle was interesting. And seven little birds...that has to be some kind of record. Tomorrow I am going to watch to see if I can figure out what kind of birds these are. I'll keep you informed. While you are waiting why not stop by and see what is growing with the rest of the Robins.

If you enjoy the photos and the shots , why not try the next challenge. It will be posted on Sunday. It is fun. You make all kinds of new friends and the best part is that you can learn so much from all the talented photographers. Check it out!
