Beautiful photo Pricknick! Outstanding, great colors, and depth of field due to that blue clear sky spot. Wonderful image.

I learned something by being a smoker, and standing outside because of it, and there's a tiny bit of evidence in the second picture. At a certain point, the babies will begin to turn somewhat upside down in the nest, and with their little butts poking up, and over the edge, will poop. There's always a lot of poop under the nest, but won't be a lot inside of it. Sometimes they hit the side of the nest, as seen in photo 2, and I'm wondering if the one on the right is about to do its business (or just finished up), based on its position.
I know that's a weird observation, but I'm a weirdo. Have a great Saturday!
Hope all are doing well!
Here are some Barn Swallow babies July 5.

Enchanting photo janis.
Michigan sunset.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Very nice sunset Pricknick
I'm partial to those.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Thank you Pricknick
That you find it enchanting makes me very happy.
Thanks for the next best thing to being there. The sun's warmth, and the setting light is strongly felt.
Great pic P!

Thanks for hosting Janis
We've been celebrating a little. Bollox Minor has submitted a research paper for review and publication.
Anyway:
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Congratulations Bolloxs
Is that a pinhole photo of Fred ; ). You guys are an amazing team. That is such an entertaining photo, thanks.
The pinks, blues, greens
in your second shot are quite choice.
Not a pinhole camera. Just a long box and waiting for Fred to look down for a toy and a quick snapshot.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Choice!
You sound like a kiwi.
I agree about the colours. They're more playful and bright.
beautiful pix Janis!

Are barn swallows missing their barns?
I guess garages will do in the absence of barns. The fewer number of barns left must be difficult for many creatures.
last photo ... if I just could decide which birdie I would like
to be ... 'Wenn ich ein Vöglein wäre, flög ich zu Dir' ... yep, I would.
Hi mimi

wow, beautiful sound, that birdie makes me fly
to ... you, of course.
Thanks, janis.

Hi eyo, "goodbye old friends ... rebirth hello"
“The redwoods know how to live with this,” Godley said. “We’re hopeful the ecosystem knows how to bounce back.” I sincerely hope so.

A frondly tip
for those feeling palm-deprived and on a budget -
I've had luck sprouting seeds from store-bought dates.
Oldest one is still less than a foot high, but has survived a
year and a half or so and is putting out new growth...
Growing citrus from seed can be fun, too:
Thanks Blue Republic, for the interesting video
about germinating citrus seeds. It was an interesting experiment, and it makes sense that the seed with its skin in soil works best.
Enjoyed and ...
Rec'd!!
