Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!

While walking around the gardens yesterday, looking and taking pictures of some new irises blooming, I came across a surprise.

There in front of me was one of the baby bluebirds that have just left the nest. I was so surprised and glad I had my camera with me. Momma bluebird had five babies at last count.

After taking a couple pictures I walked around the area and saw a total of four. I wanted to check for the fifth baby, but then mom and dad started swooping down on me. As I walked away, they decided to hang even closer to the babies by sitting on the tomato cages.

What a lovely sight!
