Nature's Treasures
The little boy above, my grandson, found a treasure last week when I was babysitting him on a gorgeous fall day. Using his favorite toy in the world, a stick, he was stiring up some leaves that had fallen, when out of the pile of leaves he was playing with appeared a little bit of blue.
He found this bird's nest. The bird who wove this nest must love textiles as much as I do. They had to weave a little color in to the gray to liven it up. The blue plastic strand is woven all through the nest. I think it is a work of art. And I especially love it because of the toddler who found it. I think I'll be keeping this one forever.
Chris what a sweet, sweet post. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson is just gorgeous! What a lovley find, I would keep it forever too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a find...so intricately formed! Birds are quite clever when you see what they can do with some twigs, ribbon and mud!
ReplyDeleteThat's so lovely. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find . . . doesn't that blue add just the right decorative touch *s*
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious little boy. I'll bet he was all excited when you explained to him what he'd found...they are so full of wonder at that age.

How beautiful. Maybe I should throw all my quilting scraps outside for the birds. We often find nests around our garden. I'd love to see what the birds could do with my scraps.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treasure. Yes, you need to find a way to spray it or something so it can be kept without disintegrating. One of these days your grandson will treasure it I am sure.
