A Nest

Remember my Love Story poem?

I noticed my climbing rose bush has some powdery mildew on the leaves and

went out to spray it before it ate the whole bush.  But I noticed a sweet little nest

built in the branches!  It was too tall for me to see into it!

 

But I stretched up on my tiptoes and put the camera above my head and pointed it down

into the nest and this is the shot I got.  Looks like 4 little eggs~

I didn't know what kind of bird had laid them, but the cardinal couple was close by. :)

 

A little later when I peaked outside, I could see Mrs. Cardinal sitting on her eggs! 

Awww...how very sweet! :)

They chose the bush that is by the front door!  At first I

wondered why they didn't choose that beautiful crab apple outside my kitchen window that

they have loved all winter and spring!  But then I think I figured it out.  They are all too

aware that we have all those cats back there! ha.  
Something too flimsy to climb like rose bush stems are safer...and they have thorns.  
Good thinking!  :)
