ready to fly...

right before jack was ready to leave for camp

this baby robin

fresh out of his nest

came by for a little visit

determined to spend his day on the bumper of jack's jeep

~~

in a crouched position

I crept closer and closer to this precious baby

all the while thinking at any moment in his off balanced way

he'd take off and fly right at my face

~~

but he didn't

instead

he kept his brown eyes wide open

and

before I knew it I was in a full

"who's going to blink first"

game

I won

but

only because I looked huge and scary

to this little feathered love

~~

I mean really

can you even imagine what was going through his tiny head

as I kept getting closer and closer

?

he was probably thinking

"momma told me there would be days like this"

~~~

what he didn't know was that he had blessed me with some great photos

that I couldn't help but play with once I looked at them

~~

a little layering~a little texturing

you know how it goes

~~~~~

and

now

for something new

~~

this weekend

while you're all watching fireworks

playing with sparklers

and

filling picnic baskets

I'm inviting you all over

to my

new little space

that I'm going to be blowing bubbles in for a few days

while I'm on the road

giving it a little test drive

a little nudge a little poke

especially if the "post options" works

{which has been on the fritz for me lately}

and

hopefully adding it to my life on a regular basis

once I get back

~~
