Little things...

Literally - it sometimes only takes tiny things to make one happy for a while... :)

My desk here is right beside the window and outside is a tree. Each morning, at about the same time, a whole flock of finches arrives, hoping around in the tree, pecking for ants (I assume) and being generally cute before leaving again after half an hour.

Today they have their kids with them - seems they learned flying and now learn how to get their own food. Allthough allready as big as their parents (when I say "big" of course I mean rather small), they still have some of their chicklet feathers left and those yellow "big mouth - feed me!"-beaks. And right now they seem to still have a problem with their parents wanting them to catch their own grub now:

They sit there, all fluffy, wiggling their wings and chirping for food if one of the elder ones lands on the same branch and allmost look a bit insulted when they get ignored. But I assume they'll get in soon.

Ah, they just left - until tomorrow morning, I guess. :)

This is why I love spring. I saw something similar with baby birds recently...
