I’m slowly working my way through hundreds of photos from our 2015 Staycation and in typical fashion 90% of them are of trees, beaches and the natural vistas that make the Pacific Northwest such a beautiful place to live. I’ve got so many potential images for this weeks “nature” challenge it’s difficult to choose just one to share today but in the end I selected this photo of a little swallow family in front of an abandoned Gun Battery at Fort Warden, WA. Their mamma flew by every couple of minutes with a new worm to feed her babies and this tiny group of four waited patiently until their bellies were full and it was time to return to the nest.

So precious! By the way this photo looked like it was taken at the Marin Headlands at first glance.

I absolutely love swallows. I always look for their arrival every spring and feel sad when the last of them disappears in autumn. They’re such great little fellows.

I like swallows too but rarely get a chance to see them. One of the reasons I waited to get this shot. 🙂

Actually, that reminds me! What I meant to say in my last comment was that I really liked the shot. The young birds look so cute there all in a row. They were pretty obliging models.
