Nesting

So I have a thing for nests.

For years now I have been gathering

 them when storms send gathered bundles

 from tree or bush to the ground.

The eggs here aren't real 

and I don't know what kind 

of birds have built them.

But, they are each an individual work of art.

This was used fall leaves 

woven right into the nest.

 I actually shared some 

with daughters this spring.

Time to share the lovely.

This one has a "mud" center.

A find late winter this year.

This is a purchased nest.

Like the greens added to it.

This "nest" was made by Rebecca Ersfeld.

A vintage crochet thread 

spool base with crocheted ruffle.

And a velvet ribbon handle.

Nests just seem to go 

with lilies of the valley.

A few years back we made this

 nest at Creative Haven.

Burlap wrapped peat pot,

and vintage book fringed

 to frame the nest of spaghnum moss.

Always a way to add a breath

 of spring blessings 

with a nested twig globe.

Sometimes a photo edited in the

Waterlogue App brings a new view-

as colors gently fuse.

Oh, yes,

I will walk the grounds 

after the next windy day.

And maybe........
