in the moment > time flys with birds

After coming back from WI, Lucy and I found our little robin eggs had hatched! How exciting!! Ever since, we have been watching intently every day as the mom and dad birdies switch shifts hovering, retrieving food, and feeding.... It's been very eventful to say the least.

 Of course I got these few pictures, thinking I would have tons of time to get more....but to our surprise the robins have all gone - one by one.  Unfortunately we never got to see them actually take off.  But we did get to see the whole process of the nest being built to the eggs hatching, to the birdies with closed eyes transforming into beautiful birds.  The last couple of days we noticed one missing, then two, and finally just the one alone trying to spread its wings.  Now there is a sudden void as we eat our meals...no action to watch anymore.  It's really kind of sad..... Here is my last video taken of them eating from our kitchen window....
