Among my flowers and trees, Nature takes me into her own hands, and I breathe freely as the first man.    –Alexander Smith

Yesterday was a good day for flying!  The Robin babies in the nest on the screened-in porch were getting crowded.

Some time yesterday they fledged the nest!  It was empty.  They were gone.  So much activity, then stillness.

This morning, I saw one of the babies in the maple tree close to the house.

Independence Day!

But one still needs a little help from Mom even after leaving the nest!

Hope your day is Happy and Safe.  Hope you spend some time with Nature and breathe freely.  Hope you enjoy your Independence while maintaining the connections that feed your body and soul.
