For those of you who view Light Words on line you might notice a new look. The back ground is my favorite lemon tree and the header is the white spider from Sunday’s post. I found out it is a crab spider. According to naturalist friend it will change color depending on what flower it is on, yellow or blue, etc. I have seen yellow ones.
Today’s photo was a iPhone photo of a nest in a wash pan that I sent through a few apps. One seems to be an art shot the other a story or a the seed of one. How did a nest get in a pot on a deck. I really don’t know… please tell us. What does a nest or empty nest mean to you?

Maybe it fell out of a tree and someone put in there…
or the bird decided a wash tub would be a nice clean place to make it’s nest…

Sounds about right. I’ll have to ask the keeper of the nest now. 🙂

Here’s the sad history of this nest from my friend kit. I’ll have to look for the plastic in it.
Carol,
I found the nest tucked into the bow of one of our canoes when we were getting ready for our trip. We store the boats upside down in the garage. There were no eggs in the nest so I pulled it out, but when I flipped the canoe over 4-5 little dried out eggs fell out of the little niche. One was partially opened. Some how the eggs were pushed out of the nest into an area where the parents couldn’t get at them and they died.
It was a sad way to begin the trip.
The nest is interesting. Did you notice the bits of plastic?

An empty nest could mean a chance for rebirth, you know. Or…some egg-snatcher must be on the loose! Haha, I love the new look by the way. 😉
