A baby wren has hatched from the nest built in my porch hanging basket. I guess it will take a some time for this little fellow to develop into a handsome mature bird like his parents.
For now he sits with his mouth wide opened waiting for his mama to fill it up and for his feathers to fill in.
Oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird
And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
If you’re a bird, be an early early bird –
But if you’re a worm, sleep late.

wonderful photos. Love the one of the baby bird climbing up towards the mother. Love that poem too, that's really cute
How sweet is that! Your pictures are fabulous:)
What beautiful pictures!! I would so love to be able to capture the beauty of every day like that…
Enjoyed looking around your blog:)
So wonderful that you were able to get a close-up of this sweet baby bird! My children love watching birds and reading about them. They'll think these pictures are too cute!
Your post today put a smile on my face. So sweet and your photos are wonderful.
Those are some gorgeous shots! What a great vantage point to get them too.jan
This is such a sweet post. I love the pictures of the baby wren.
Goodness, he's a funny looking fella! It's a wonder that you were able to get so close. Great shots!
How I love the birds–all
kinds. This little one is
darling. We had wrens make
their nest in an old bird
house attached to our fence
at the corner of our front
yard. It was so much fun
watching them build and
then take tiny beaks full
of food to their young.
How sweet, I love it—all of it!
What outstanding photos!!! Little bird is SO cute, you've captured him perfectly. Imagine a nest in your flowers, how charming this must be.
Wow Fabulous Pictures!! Love them you got some really great shots!! ~Love Heather
I just love baby birds, look at him climb up for food & momma.
Looks like you will have some entertainment for a while. What a blessing
I love that poem. I used to read Shel Silverstein to my girls when they were small. And your photos are, as always, wonderful.
Oh that's a very hungry baby bird! Love the last photo ~ sweet little thing climbing for a bite to eat!
Gorgeous photos.
it amazes me just how big the baby wren is…its almost the same size as the mama! she must've laid a pretty big egg! haha 🙂 beautiful photos lorraine, and ur hanging basket is so pretty!
poor early worms 😛
btw, in reply to your question – i checked online and potato starch and corn starch are interchangeable apparently! both used as thickener in gravy etc..and can be used to cakes! 🙂
awwwwwww…. how cute, you are really blessed. Great PICs.
Love, Lorraine
How sweet! Birds love to build in my hanging planters on my front porch too. They nearly scare me to death when I start to water the plants and have birds flying out into my face! 🙂
Your pictures are wonderful!
