Hidden - Nikon D40 with 55 mm lens
My submission for the Inspiration Avenue challenge. This mama Mockingbird hid her nest inside our gardenia bush. I love the color of the eggs, a bright blue with brown speckles.

Is there anything more perfect than a bird's nest? This is so sweet!

This is a lovely image Chris - those speckled eggs are really beautiful. How great to have found this in your garden, all hidden away! x
The eggs are beautiful...
what bird in there right mind is letting something that beautiful unattended?
xox, Lisa
You girls are so sweet. Seriously, you make me feel like a real artist!
Stephanie: We were so excited to see the nest!
luthien: I actually took the image last spring, but didn't process the photo until today. That still counts as new work, right? :-)
Angie - It was so fun to watch the birds hatch. They were ugly little things at first, then they grew into fat baby mockingbirds.
Lisa - When I came over with my camera I spooked the mama mockingbird. But she was over in the magnolia, squawking at me the whole time. As soon as I came inside she flew right back.
What a fabulous submission for this week's challenge Chris!! It's amazing how you happen to capture the little darlings!

Sharon - Thank you! We noticed that the mama mockingbird kept flying into the gardenia with twigs. A few days later, eggs appeared!
Chris this photo is lovely. It's a fabulous submission for the challenge. How fun to be able to sneak up on this nest and take this picture. Great job!
Thanks, Charlie. I was pretty excited to have one so close.
