enjoying the Milk Weed Flowers...
Silver Dollar plant turning colors...soon they will be transparent!!
I noticed a Robins nest on the beach...in a tree...a few weeks ago...
I captured the Mom sitting on the eggs...
The Babies looking for food...
Then...the nest was empty....:o[
Never fear...
One of the chicks had made it as far as some of our kindling...
He/She sat there for hours...no sign or sound of Mom...
Later in the afternoon, my boyfriend decided to move him closer to the nest...
He donned his gloves...starting to reach for the chick...and Mom came flying!!!
Dive bombing my boyfriend!!
She came out of nowhere....the chick scurried down the beach...following her
sounds...and he was huddled under the tree...
Hopefully a happy ending...lots of Turkey vultures around!!
tiny village still standing...
never a shortage of seagulls!
Had a great weekend...lots of visitors...
Hot and humid...rough and windy...no pedal boat for us!!
Hope you all had a great weekend...
Miss V is napping...then we will go to the park...or sit in the pool...
What ever her little ♥️ desires....♥️♥️♥️
Still hot and humid here...supposed to break...AGAIN... tomorrow!!
Nicer weather ahead...
Enjoy the rest of your day...and have a great week!!
Cheers! :o)

Interesting about the mama robin. I hope the baby makes it.
ReplyDeleteMe too Birdie!
DeleteWith the winters y'all have, it's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that it gets hot and humid there. My Lord, it's like a steam bath here. I even broke out in a sweat in Target. It was awful....I was afraid the people might think I was about to break out into an epileptic fit and start looking for a spoon to put in my mouth. Lol!
ReplyDeleteLove your birds. I have 2 babies in a nest in one of my ferns. I'm so proud of them!
Ok, check ya later. Hope you get some relief from the H& H. I won't be looking for any here until October.
Oh yes...it sure does Laurie!!
DeleteWe are in Celsius...but sometimes with the humidex, it is in the mid 90's..in your lingo!!
Kinda sad sometimes...that we study American History and Geography in school here...but The Americans know very little about its neighbour!! And a pretty darn BIG neighbour at that!! Michigan is further North than where we live...ok..enough with the geography lesson!!
Love baby birds...so ugly and yet so cute!!
Have a great week Laurie!!
Gosh there's a pebble with your initials on it . . . lol
ReplyDeleteLike the milk weed flowers.
Interesting about the robin and the chicks and I think Mrs Robin was quite right to bomb your boyfriend . . . lol
Let's hope the robin chicks make it . . .
Love the shot of the glistening water . . . do many more of those and i might have to write a poem . . :)
Having toddler Peter tomorrow ~ I'll send you a piccie . . . :)

ReplyDeleteJane x

My dream is to paint! Watercolours.......so beautiful....maybe someday....
Deletedidn't you know... dear girl... you paint with your camera! it's an art. and you have it. xo
DeleteYou are the sweetest thing Tammy....♥️
DeleteOoh, look at that sparkling water on the lake - so inviting, Linda. Looking at the baby birds is so delightful, and I am glad mother bird was nearby. Baby looks a bit nervous, but in a few days it will take off, I expect. Love your tiny village so much, I always want to make one too!
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia!
DeleteI see parts of Australia got snow! Kooky weather....
Enjoy your week!
Lovely photos ! The turkey Vultures wont bother with live food they are carcass pickers lol ! Our Mrs Robin has already has had two batches of babies I am waiting to see if she has any more nest has been empty and unoccupied for 2 weeks now . Yes it is humid but the breezes from lake Erie have been nice . Yes lake Erie is one of the roughest choppiest lakes in Ontario . Thanks for sharing , Have a good week !
ReplyDeleteI did not know that Elaine! I thought they ate baby birds, as they always circle the Martin houses!
DeleteWe saw an Owl take a baby once!
Wow, those milkweed flowers are extraordinary and such a pretty colour. Don't know why I always thought they were white.
ReplyDeleteHope Baby Bird survives... smiling at Mama protecting her wee one. Yup - Mamas rock!
Love the stories your photos tell. Often makes me feel peaceful... and sometimes hungry! ♥️
Once the flowers are done....a pod forms....which contain the seed heads...which are white and fluffy!
DeleteBeautiful photographs. I love the thick, almost plastic look of milkweed flowers and how pretty they smell.
ReplyDeleteWe're looking for rain today too and I'm hoping for good weather this weekend. Hannah is having a birthday.
:0)
Yes...almost like a Lilac....
DeleteRaining here now...heavy at first.....now light...not feeling well...
Hope Hannah has a great day♥️
well how very impolite of you to take a photo of that's bird's bum :PPP
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers as usual!
Hi Dez!
DeleteHahaha! She was facing the wrong way!
The milkweed blooms are beautiful! Have you noticed any Monarch butterflies around them? I'm glad baby robin was safe. You never know when mama is watching. LOL Sunny and hot here again but your rain will reach us tomorrow. We need some! It has been gorgeous though and I'm not complaining one bit. Have a good week Linda. xx Pam
ReplyDeleteNot yet this year Pam....Lots of Bees and hummingbirds...hope they do return...
DeleteWe only get a downpour this morning...and then nothing....geesh...I wanted more!!
Love the nest photos today. I have not found one nest on our property all summer but I know that squirrels and chippies have nested in our trees and wood-pile. I hope next year to have birds use the houses. That was nice of the boyfriend to try to help the fledgling. But you know how moms can be. lol We are still waiting on rain here. Not a drop for days.
ReplyDeleteWe don't usually get them in our assorted houses...more nesting going on in the trees and shrubs!
DeleteYes...I know how Moms can be! Very protective!
Get watering!
Lovely photos, thanks for sharing. I had a giggle imagining your boyfriend being "dive bombed." Hope he wasn't traumitized! This boyfriend has been working on the very lovely photos from our recent trip. I'm also feeling a little under the weather today, we probably both need to slow down, LSK...
ReplyDeleteHey Hester....
DeleteWill love to see your photos....take care of yourself!
