Unexpected Treasures

 
Posted by Picasa




I saw a bird's nest in the tree right beside our house this morning. I was able to take a shot, and smiled happily all day because of it. I captured a picture of something so wonderful, so close by. I know it's not the perfect angled shot,with the leaves hiding part of the bird, but the fact that it occurred right here, right outside, made it all the more exciting. Special things are all around us, and sometimes, they appear right in your own backyard!

Later, when I looked out again, the nest was gone. Only some leftover twigs remained. I was sad that the bird felt that she had to transfer her nest, just because she had been discovered. She will never know that she had made someone very happy.

I love that I had been able to capture it, even if it was just for a moment. Spring must be the best season of the year!
