Hidden Treasure

Bird's Nest
Originally uploaded by suzipaw.

I came across this handsome and cozy nest while deadheading the yellow rose in the back yard yesterday. It's deep inside the canes. I've had a hard time photographing it, but I don't want to disturb the bird any more than I have to. When I was taking this shot, the bird was inside, and the whole thing vibrated several times. Guess I won't be spraying the rose anymore this season...

Two things I've resolved to do after the Wedding Madness has receded ("lounge" is the operative word with both): Go to an open poetry reading at Zebulon's Lounge with Rebecca; and see Johnny Atomic, an old-fashioned lounge singing duo, at bar at our teeny local airport. Actually, my brother just reminded me of a third thing: see the Raiders play this fall with him and his family.
