Sketchbook: Out On A Limb


This is my response to the April theme in the Sketchbook Challenge.  Charles just bought a new birdbath, and this is my bit of thinking on the back yard and the coddling nature of his relationship with the greedy little birds there.  Not that I object, but the birds do have a nice go of it back in their "spa" territory.

We are hoping to have cardinals nest in the trees in back, and there are worms in the compost pile for the robins.  A feeder that is meant only for little birdies (no fat squirrels) hangs over a slate-floored dining room for the bigger birds and the squirrels and chipmunks.  Now, the birdbath.  What decent-minded bird could look the management in the eye and ask for more?
