Steve and family took Sam and dropped him at the ferry terminal so that he could get back to Magnetic Island for work this afternoon, V was at work and my nephew at school which left me and Joe with a quite day to catch up and reminice.
 Joe told me a delightful story of this Red Finch building his nest, under the awning at their back door…Mr Red Finch was shy and fluttered off back into the trees if anyone was near the door, Mrs Red Finch was not shy at all and sat brazenly on the line chirping at him to come back and get on with building the nest, because of his hurry to place the straw and get away quickly his nest was not very neat and didn’t look terribly secure so my brother screwed on the green bottom so that the whole thing didn’t fall down on Mr Red Finch.
Photographing frogs can be a little tricky because they have a habit of jumping just as you are about to take the photo, so when I was taking this photo I was so focused on the frog that I didn’t notice the milo smeared mouth and fingers of the nephew that was holding the frog for me and I am glad that I didn’t notice at the time because I love the photo that resulted.
