What Grandpa's Do

Walt, Stehle and Blake spent the day in Austin doing the "Texas" stuff. Nice thing about it is there were no admission fees and no parking fees...proof that Texas hasn't caught up to the rest of the world.

From the Big Blow

These are additional views of the object in the post below. This hummingbird's nest was a causality of the violent storm that passed by here this week. The nest sat on the end of a very large branch of a very large oak tree beside our house. We found it last year when a hummingbird darted between our feeder and the nest while raising babies.

The bird returned this year for another round. We are pretty sure all this year's babies had left the nest before it went down. We cut it off the fallen branch and will keep it for future show and tell. Amazing construction. Beautifully built. Long lasting.

If I did the 360 Project (a-photo-a-day), this would be today's post. What do you think it is?
