I have taken my camera with me,
as I went to work. Later I would take some pics of birds' nests
along the Eisenbach on my way home... as I looked out of the window
I spot a nest of a crow... at eye level! But
all the branches blocked my view...
My workmate Lady Kate meant
"Well, for a better sight you gotta climb on top of the roof!"
... hmmm... My boss allowed it and an other workmate helped
me with the ladder and opened the porthole...
I approached the brink... and the nest.
Never, never! I had such an
eye contact with a bird before!
I told the crow mom that I am harmless...
wanna only take a pic, then I am off! Same to crow dad...
and that was about it...
thank you, crows, thank you @work!
On my way home along the Eisenbach
Hum, singing, warble and nests
Try to build a nest, too...
and decide better to do a drawing:
I take an old print of a linocut
(you can find it here, before I cut it into pieces for a type area...
wanted it for 'Frühlings Erwachen' by Frank Wedekind,
but there were too little rosebuds, so the prints wait a long time
in my dresser for... for today!)
and draw on it with wax crayon
a blackbird hen, an egg and a nest
Yah, Nest is my theme for this week's drawing challenge
and these are the fantastic artists , based in the USA and Canada,
the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany that are playing
today... please visit them:
