Empty nest.
The little darling! I should have taken a picture from farther away, so you could see how tiny they looked on that big lawn.
Goodbye, sweet little ones! Come back and build your nests here next year, ok?

Empty Nest
When I went out to peek at the goldfinches this afternoon, there were only two left in the nest. Then right before my eyes, they flew! Oh, it was a scary sight to see them land on the grass, alone and so vulnerable! I'm having visions of the future, when one day I'll perhaps leave my first born at a college somewhere and drive away, her looking as little and vulnerable as those tiny birds. Uh-oh, tears! I'm so glad I get to keep her in the nest for more than eight days! Six years seems pretty short though...

They are so adorable. It's sad when they leave the nest.
