You may never see a crow's nest.
I feel fortunate that the crow's built a nest in our trees.
But l'm sad that somehow the baby's ended up on the sidewalk
in front of our place, they died after a day or two, except one.
Now l generally don't interfere with nature, well there was that
once l help my cat kill a rabbit, oh and then there was that time
l had to shoot a wounded deer on the highway, but usually...
A friend took the last sickened baby crow, but he didn't make it.

I am not a veteran of the heat.
I am a fall kind of guy, summer is complacent.
I am putting a new roof on this little home,
so no story this week, maybe you'll come back
late next week and l'll will show you something.

Wonderfully beautiful and poignant photo and text, Ken!
There is this small crow wood near my home. If a bird of prey approaches, it is usually driven out by hundreds of angry crows. Sometimes I see dead baby birds, like the one on the photo, lying underneath their nests. Very sad.
Thank you Sandra. :) I hope the rains have stopped for you.
Jenny, thank you for coming by, l appreciate that.
Beautiful post Ken!
Your family is also beautiful!
Roofing..... don't hurt yourself!
I can't figure out what you used in the piece at the bottom. tile? paper? it's a mystery. love it!

Thank you Manon. :) The mosaic is made from old floor lino. I like haunting old abandoned shacks, l steal the old boards, rusty nails, floor lino, wallpaper, old lady sitting in the rocker. :)
Caio, you put a smile on my face. your an interesting guy. We'll have grappa and a cigar next time l'm in your woods.
That is very sad, about the baby crows. I always feel so honoured when birds nest in my space. It's hard not to get attached.
Your right Rachel. I'm not sure what knocked them out of the nest, perhaps a racoon.
Thanks for coming by. :)
there is a post with a link to your blog on my blog now .
if you don't like it , tell me , no problem and i take it out .
The crow is very touching....
I am the lucky one who can watch every year two blackbird lovers and their baby's in my garden.
Ken, not only your art is fascinating but i also do love your stories, your words. I certainly come back to read and see and thiniing and be inspired. The mosaic is great!

The 'fallen' and the 'fortunate'... a bittersweet juxtaposition of life :)
