    Barn swallows are among my favorite birds, because they eat so many flying insects. Thanks very much for posting this wonderful shot of a nest, which is beautiful in & of itself.

    Cool photo and a very nice saying about the worm not being thrown into the nest. We all have to put forth effort in life, even the birds.

    OneDay - I was at least 5 feet away, and the swallow was still squawking to try to scare me away from the babies. 10x zoom is fantastic.

    Aww, what a great shot! We had a bird's nest one year right on top of one of the light fixtures by the front door, at first I thought the birds had lost it, they kept swooping in. We tried to use the back door as much as possible, but while the nest remained, they decided not to lay eggs there the following year!

    Where do you live that these are native to? I've never seen a nest (or bird) like that. What material is the nest made of?

  36. Kristin AquariannJuly 12, 2012 at 7:42 PM

    Sarah - I live in Delaware, near the ocean. The nest is mostly made of mud and straw, I think.

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter. The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires. She has already cleared the crystals, but if you ever need to recharge or remove unwanted energy, simply place in a window that is beaming with sunlight. Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting. She has customers who are still wearing creations that are over 10 years old! She's been selling jewelry offline for years, but only recently began...
