Experiencing nature up close…

As Spring approached this year, I purchased a new wreath for my front door. After a few days, I noticed a robin’s nest built into the wreath just below my peephole. So began several weeks of up close viewing including the thrill of watching the first fledgling leave the nest and the other three flying out simultaneously the next day. It was an incredible experience.

Growing so quickly
May 24th – moments later I witnessed the first one take flight.
One of the last three who took flight May 25th, hung around for a few minutes enjoying the soft grass
And just like that, I’m an empty nester!
