Very cute little birds in their nest. I don't realize very well where is the nest, doesn't seems to be in a green environment.

@akarui: I'm sorry, I left out the part about the nest is in a bucket on a table on our covered back porch! we uatch from a window inside. when I photo them outside, I don't want to even breath on them so it's quick.

This is wonderful Cheryl, they are so tiny bless them. They must feel safe to be nesting so close to your house.

Aaawww! I love it. Wish I could find this in my neck of the woods. Only cars and concrete here; lol! Love the focus on this one, and that angle is awesome!

Wonderful angle Cheryl!!! I like the selective focus! It's as though we are seeing the birds from the mothers point of view! A well executed exceptional image!
