My third entry for the weekly photo challenge was inspired by the blog Thoughts from Finchley. This blogger added images of rusted textures that reminded me of the rusty bird nest that greeted us upon arrival from our month long trip to Nova Scotia. It seems this unfortunate bird tried nesting in the coal-fired heater pipe in my husband’s studio. Perhaps the nest created the moisture for the pipe to rust and eventually fall to the ground. Sad story for the eggs; perfect photographs for this challenge.

Beautiful photos .It’s more than just a visual texture, it serves to teach us what life is all about. Sometimes no matter how difficult our circumstances are, we need to try, just like this bird who tried to bring forth life. She probably had a broken heart to see her eggs die but in heart she knows she tried. In the end , that’s what matters the most. Inspiring post. Thank you and wishing all the blessings in life.
Thank you again for the pingback :)
What a delight to peruse this one. Lovely images and lovely nests textured with love in the weaving of the nursery for the arriving offspring.
What a beautiful turn of phrase, “textured with love in the weaving of the nursery for the arriving offspring.” Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the extra pingback! Just curious, but so you use Zemanta to add your recommended links, or do you type them in yourself? I’m trying to learn more about this process.
Very unique, interesting, yet beautiful photos. I love the eggs and rust photos.
Thank you Fergiemoto!

Seriously?? I Love these!! the little eggs didn’t survive though?* sniff! *
Thank you Hails…beautiful but sad at the same time right? :(
the bird for sure at first thought, he had a good idea. so we are sometimes – kind of Titanic experience in the bird’s mind …
Very nice – birds don’t always choose the best nesting sites do they.
Very true Martin. Thank you for stopping by!
Loved these! So many textures going on it keeps the eye moving through the photo
Thank you for sharing your perspective! I love knowing how viewers experience my photography. All the best!
These are amazing! The contrasting textures of the rusted metal and the wispy nest really jump out of the screen and I actually find the photos quite moving.
Thank you Sarah! I love the way you described the nest by using the word wispy. Perfect! I couldn’t have said it better.
