05/13/10

This isn't an animal from the Zoo but it was taken at the Zoo! It's beautiful nonetheless. :)
We now are watching a mockingbird's nest. Wesley found it earlier this week.


The nest now has four eggs ... I was a bit excited to photograph the eggs and probably should have waited till we thought she was through laying them. I believe she'll only have four because there have been no changes in two days. Mockingbird's can be a bit feisty so we have to be careful when we go out there... especially when she starts sitting on the eggs, but I am hoping to capture some pics of the babies when they hatch.

I just love viewing God's creation in such a way. It is also exciting for the kids to see that new life. :)

Beautiful pictures. Have you thought of making a coffee table book of all your beautiful pictures of God's creation?

Happy Thursday!
