Sometimes the world gives you wonderful things before breakfast!

I've been sleeping in a tent outside all week, and as I was coming inside this morning, I spotted a little baby robin perched on my watering can. Surprisingly, as I crept closer and closer, it didn't fly off.  I quickly went inside for my camera, then came back out. I started slow in case it wouldn't let me come close again, zooming in and snapping a picture right from the back door.

I got down to the bottom of the steps. Still there.

I crept closer and closer, taking pictures the whole way.

Until eventually I was right in front of the shelves.

And he just sat there and posed for me!

Soon my parents came out and looked, my mother identified the bird as a baby robin, and not much later it hopped off into the neighbors' yard, fluttering its little wings.

Where it was quickly joined by this handsome fella.

My camera couldn't snap pictures fast enough as the two of them went off together.

The dad had a worm in his mouth and he fed it to the little baby.

And then they hopped off into the next yard. Something truly magical for the morning!
