A Nest!

I am so lucky to live just a short walk from an area of wetland where the rushes and willows grow tall. Today after many searches at last  I found one red winged blackbird's nest. It is amazing how these birds so very cleverly weave grasses in and out to anchor their structure to the thin tall stems of the willows.
It was woven around seven uprights and hang in perfect balance.

A walk in the reeds

I used to have a web site many moons ago but life happened and I let everything go .  So I am starting anew with a new computer ( IMac) and new technology with the intention of documenting my creative pursuits at least on a weekly basis.
Yesterday I went for a walk in the swamp at  the end of our road.
The reeds are taller than me and it was quite wonderful to walk amongst them, listening to the leaves swaying in the breeze. I am going back there later on today to see if I can find some Red Winged Blackbird nests. In the spring this wetland is filled with their song and bright flashes of red as they take to the sky.
I wonder what I'll find?
