.. nature, in all it's glory ..

I took a couple of shots of some flowers and plants in our backyard and I wanted to share them with you!!

I also included several images of a mama bird that Thoai photographed outside his house. This poor bird keeps trying to make a nest on the side of their house, but the nest keeps on falling to the ground. Sad. We saw evidence of several cracked eggs.

We were pretty close to her, but she didn't fly away. She was protecting her nest and her babies.
