Signs of Life! by darylo

Signs of Life!

I can say it, I'm truly "chuffed" @jo13 that I was able to sneak up to the newly made nest by Mr. and Mrs. Robin! Mr. Robin keeps regular watch in my Apple tree, and I hope I didn't upset him too much going for a quick, and very imperfect, shot of their lovely, baby blue eggs!

Sign Photography? Oh, yes, it's a sign of new life to come! Oh, and I believe the chickadees are sitting on eggs in the bird house too. Isn't spring grand?

Want to see Mrs. Robin: http://365project.org/darylo/didn-t-make-cut/2013-04-12
and http://365project.org/darylo/didn-t-make-cut/2013-03-17

UPDATE!: Mama has three eggs to watch now! I got a photo of her on nest, but it's a little too hard to see through the bushes. The color of these eggs is beautiful!

Update: 4/25. One egg crashed on ground and cracked. I'm sad.
Very sweet and you managed to get some birds in there after all!! Love it!

@spair It is a little crazy that I can't let it go for a day even. Can I? :)

Nah, it made me smile. I think we are all a little obsessed, otherwise we wouldn't be doing this project. :) @darylo

Wow! Amazing what color they are! I love this!

@orangecrush Thanks Jerry (I know it really isn't a sign, though). The color is true to life--barely edited (just for exposure) then a crop. The blue is stunning!

Instant fav for me. Love the color and composition.
April 17th, 2013  
Fabulous!

A wonderful sign! Nice composition, and I love the colors, just beautiful!
April 17th, 2013  
Fantastic!
April 17th, 2013  
Brilliant!!! Love the colour of the eggs too.
April 17th, 2013  
Wow this is a very good capture. Just look at the colour of those eggs! Nice shot.

@judis @danette @lunaksi @elisasaeter @elisasaeter @andyn @witchyjacq @spair @orangecrush Thanks everyone. Also, an update! One more egg in there today. I wonder how many eggs mama robin can lay? Also, just a head's up--I'm going out of town again, so comments may be few and far between posts. I don't know also if I'm taking my camera gear--chaperoning a teen band trip. May just want to take my point and shoot. Will decide in the a.m.

NICE!

Wow! This is great! Doesn't belong in a 'didn't make cut' album! Love this.

@lubybee Luretta, you are nice. I was pretty stupid with the "naming" of the albums and cannot change it now. I hate the album title because I use if for my "other" shot for a day where I just can't pick two. Oh well.....Thanks so much for the lovely comment, though! :)

@squamloon Thanks!

I believe you can still change your album title. The URL will still us the old words, but the title can be different. I know that worked for me anyway. My "alternatively" album used to be "themes and challenges".

@squamloon thanks! I guess I remember some message saying that everything was permanent, that I'd basically done a blood pact or something and would forever be stuck with my dumb title (I had that for my fbook account so my friends could see what I was doing--yeah, they are dying to watch my "process." Apparently, the blood pact is only with the URL. I can live with that! :) Thanks again; I would never have looked if you hadn't said something.

Glad it worked!
