Robin

folkartbird022009

This is the second item in my series

of folk art paintings of birds.

A colleague told a story of a pair of robins.

Residing in a lovely suburb she and

her husband have a covered back deck.

A pair of robins nested every year

in the rafters of the deck. Then the robins'

offspring also returned to this backyard

when grown. Doing some roofing repairs

to the deck the roofers were asked not to disturb

a nest with eggs. The roofers were careful.

The robins didn't leave and hatched the eggs

successfully. Obviously the birds my colleague

reported felt safe in this backyard.

I hope that you enjoy this image.

Have a watch-the-wildlife-in-your-

backyard kind of day.

Helen.
