Beautiful and ethereal. <br />I wish that I could walk into a group of deer and have them walk around me, accepting my presence and allowing me to be a part of their &quot;inner circle&quot;, if only for a little while. Oh well. We can dream.<br />Beautiful photos. I love the ladder. What did you do to focus that ladder so well? It&#39;s just wonderful.farmladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786976798044172737.post-16933271665511781502012-05-22T13:51:52.761-07:002012-05-22T13:51:52.761-07:00It&#39;s House Hunters International on the west coast of Vancouver Island, BC. I love it!<br />Watching these birds finding just the right place to nest is so much fun and you have made it even more so with them worrying about the neighborhood, the age of the home and puss-in-boots down there. <br />Wonderful post!<br />I&#39;m in love with the photo of Grif&#39;.

What a charming tale, and then there is the look in the cat&#39;s eyes...And Jane, the chimp, another endearing treasure. She would be here in a heartbeat, but then so would they all, resources allowing. Spring is so beautiful in your neck of the woods. xoMarylinn Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786976798044172737.post-75594528172735742942012-05-22T05:42:39.522-07:002012-05-22T05:42:39.522-07:00Very cute - I was just thinking this spring while we were birding Point Pelee, that I miss seeing the Violet green Swallows!

I love hanging cloths out to dry. I don&#39;t do it often but I should. I need a long line somewhere.<br />My sister just installed a round tent dryer like we use to have when we were kids. I love it.

Every year (sometimes twice a year) the wasps try to set up shop in our bell - right by the front door!

I love the photos of the babies. Marvelous shots. <br />Glad your cat was in the house. Ours is an outdoor cat and she is always on the hunt for unsuspecting birds.<br />Love the photo of your cat.<br />Those wasps are a nuisance aren&#39;t they? We just removed one in the goat house and on the end of our rolled up bamboo shade. They&#39;re everywhere. I found one a while back inside a birdhouse. Geezz! It&#39;s hard to be nice to them. <br />Again, your photos were great. You really showed the effort they make to build a nest.farmladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786976798044172737.post-26980354097533482762012-05-14T18:34:49.368-07:002012-05-14T18:34:49.368-07:00terrific photos.<br /><br />feel better soon.the wild magnoliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14355836751549469688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786976798044172737.post-70051078945626853772012-05-14T17:36:55.269-07:002012-05-14T17:36:55.269-07:00I hope you feel better soon<br />Love that cat<br />hope the baby robins all make itSuzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10329289442910294160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786976798044172737.post-59317772436304589682012-05-14T13:23:10.906-07:002012-05-14T13:23:10.906-07:00what a great shot of your cat!

I&#39;ll think of them, especially mother robin and her offspring, when i&#39;m out this afternoon in traffic doing errands. Dream of being closer (much) :) to nature. I actually like wasps; i just don&#39;t want them too close to me. I tend to look funny when they buzz around my chaise lounge, and i run around with flailing arms like a crazy woman! :D Good thing we have a fence. I love love your pic of Reuben here! It&#39;s so adorable and typically feline that i laughed out loud. I want to show our Tennessee his twin!Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16005482538480063372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786976798044172737.post-22448494694651167952012-05-14T07:21:45.493-07:002012-05-14T07:21:45.493-07:00nice!Suzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10329289442910294160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786976798044172737.post-50016163372364451462012-05-13T13:18:41.168-07:002012-05-13T13:18:41.168-07:00Beautiful post Kerry.
