nature's treasures
solo post - L Nikon D40x 200mm please click to see larger - it's an amazing nest
I really enjoy blogging - it didn't take long for me to fall in love with it because I have met so many inspirational, talented and amazing women here. Relyn is one of those women. She is one the most beautiful, sincere, and compassionate ladies I've ever met - a gifted school teacher, a loving wife and devoted mother. Please visit Relyn - you will feel so welcomed there with the soothing music playing and there will be a cup of tea waiting for you. I really felt honored to be invited to write a guest post on her blog. She asked me to write on a passion of mine so I chose to write about a passion T and I share together - Hunting for treasures.
2 weeks ago when T was home on spring break, we were doing a little spring cleaning and maintenance in the yard and found this beautiful bird's nest in our little red maple tree. This is one of the prettiest nests I've ever found - it's got several different types of feathers in it, delicate twisty twigs, pinestraw and some sort of strips of transparent plastic - almost like clear easter basket grass. I'm not sure where these strips came from but it adds sparkle to this home.

That is a wonderful treasure. It is so beautiful. I've never seen a nest that was that pretty!
Very delicate and soft. It's lovely.
Oh, Leslye. Your words are like warm socks on cold feet - a soothing, comforting feeling that lingers and lingers. You are such a beautiful heart and a good friend. I treasure knowing you.
