I have noticed a robin hanging around our front porch the past few days. Yesterday I caught her flying away from the wreath we have on the front porch. Checked it out and found this. Really cool!! I plan to take more pics as things progress.

Keep your distance! I got my eye on you!

This is a great place, glad I found it.

Well hidden!

Nice and deep, her eggs will be well protected.

Pretty wreath--and functional also.

And the Winner is.....!

just my thoughts--All the pics were great, thanks tea8 for making this contest-- for the 1/3 that got no votes (including mine), don't forget you could have voted for your own pic--lol--I voted for the pic I liked and the vote tallies did not influence my vote. I would like to be able to vote for more than one as there were so many great photos. I'm sure this will be worked out in the future, until then keep shooting everyone!

I feel sorry for the roughly 1/3 of the pics that didn't get a single vote. That being said, I'll probably enter the next contest. I wonder if the vote tallies attached to the pics influenced the outcome...

Just some squirrel shots I took today with my Canon SX150is at full telephoto. Lots of noise.

Yeah, I should post the picture of Hobo with the live Aligator gar, Mr. Bill would love it.

okay, I was afraid others would think I abused him, feeding him to the Aligator Gar.

Day 107 - Photo A Day Challenge - 4-16-2012

Here's some I took today--1 little tree in the orchard was in full bloom, the others were just starting to pop out. There was some wind blowing so they may not be as sharp as they could be.

Welcome to Day 107 :) .. It's Macro Monday's ..Don't forget that closeups count.
Y'all know I usually do flowers .. but today I decided to go completely off the wall. It's kind of scarey how some things look really close up.
