look who’s come

We’ve had this birdhouse for as long as I can remember. It was a wedding present, many moons ago and has hung amongst our peachtrees ever since.  Although it has caught the attention of my lens a number of times throughout the years, it’s rarely been used for anything other than an accessory for our yard.

And yet, alas! Look who’s come to visit this spring!

I cannot tell you how much this does my heart good. The fact that this little house might actually be used for what it was always inteneded for is such a delight. Year after year these birds come and find the most unlikely places to nest around our yard. It’s amazing that even though this vacant home has been here all along, no one had moved in. It reminds me that no matter how many times we might see something, it only takes one day, a new light, a different perspective to see it differently. Somehow, this little bird saw this house as the right place this year. The perfect home.

Such is what we’re going to do during the 30 days of Picture Spring; shed a new light on the same old things; capture fresh perspectives and picture the celebratory moments that occur in our everyday lives. Only a few more days left until we begin our class Picture Spring! We kick it all off on April 1st (this Thursday) so be sure to register if you haven’t already. And you can follow along in the journey on our own Picture Spring featured gallery right here at Shutter Sisters. We’re thrilled to be sharing a daily image from participants in the class.

I do hope to see you over there! It will be a picture perfect way to sing your creative song of spring right from the comfort of your own right place, lens poised and ready for spring’s splendor! For those of you doing a 365 project, Picture Spring will give you 30 days of photo prompts which can really help when you’re seeking inspiration every single day!

Anything out of the ordinary catch your eye lately? Do share you unexpected delights with us today.

  7. Awwww cute! I saw a little bird hanging out of the fence outside work, I walked right past him and wanted to take a pic but I was already 10 minutes late for work. drat!

  12. It always amazes me where birds make their home… I am glad one finally is making use of that wonderful little house.

    Spring has not sprung yet here in Vermont, but I will head over and check out your links. I love anything that gives me an excuse to use my camera more…

  15. class hasn’t started yet but today outside my window I watched scrubjays protect their nest (I think hidden in the neighbor’s bottlebrush tree) from the pesky crows. It was a quite a sight. My daughter is here visiting and we went out to aide the scrubjays and shooed the crows away! It felt good to protect those eggs. :0>
