A Surprise Pop-Up

 


As usual, I snapped quite a few photos while walking in the neighborhood last weekend.  There were a row of these ornamental orange trees in one spot and I stopped to snap a photo of this neatly trimmed one that happened to be full of fruit.















While I was standing there, this little mockingbird just popped up from inside the tree.  He must have a nest inside that complex den of branches.

Two marvelous moments, Sharon.
I always feel special when I view a bird exiting a nest.

He was letting you know that this tree was taken, Sharon.

May her home be safe, and the fruit tasty.

That is a very tightly trimmed citrus tree. Usually they're much more free-form than that!

A good perch for the bird.
