Nature in Pink and Grey

Photos today are from my Canon 40D, apart from  Fantail photos courtesy of the Internet. I am still using Hugh’s laptop, but have loaded some recent photos taken at our place. Nature provides  so much, and this week I have had a whisper that maybe we will have a day out for  some of New Zealand scenery shots. Keep watching!!

This little nest, maybe for baby Fantail birds, was on the ground. It had been used, and was no longer needed this season. So much care,thought and work had gone into the making.Dry grass, twigs, more little pieces of twigs and stalks to reinforce the outer structure, then the lining began. The softest little feathers, in grey,fawn, light tan and cream, lovingly placed so her little birds would be safe and warm until their own feathers grew.

The side view shows how carefully this was woven together, and now there  are mossy pieces and lichen there.

The pink poppies have bloomed so well this year, and there are also shades  of mauve, and  deeper pink, and some yellow /pink parrot  flowers.
