there is something deep to be said about youth and beauty here, but all i know is that my brain has dropped a few needles over the years.

who say’s a northern winter isn’t colorful?

i assembled this little grouping of avian treasures from among my collections. none of these things go together, except i think that is a cardinal egg, and i know that’s a cardinal nest because of the strip of birch bark the mama always starts assembling with. finding little tiny treasures like these while i am out walking are so thrilling to me. little, unexpected rewards for paying attention.
a avian collection: cardinal nest, blue jay feather, cardinal egg, woodpecker pin feather, gull bone
all from my backyard, except the gull bone which is from grand marais harbor beach

This made me laugh this morning. I can relate!
some of the needles may be gone but the twigs are still there.
