Now that I have a SLR and a lot of free time, I actually find my home to be pretty fun to take pictures of. Mainly ‘cuz my mom keeps a plethora of plants at home, both indoors and outdoors; but even still on a nice day, both my backyard/frontyard (depends what you call the front of the house; the door that everyone comes in is actually the “backdoor”) is pretty nice, that and there’s actually a river out back with a nice little bridge and a playground that I have never visited since I’m too old to go play outside =p.

Anyhow, last summer two birds came to nest and lay eggs in one of my mom’s flower pots in the balcony, and my parents went through this whole ordeal of trying to “help them out” by putting up an umbrella on my balcony so they would be shielded from the weather and trying to feed them with food (joke is, they wouldn’t eat grains of rice but ate swiss chalet bread, so guess they are “white” birds after all). Surely the bird must have enjoyed it here (eggs hatched and the baby birds learned to fly and the family left after a month or two) because the parent birds have came back this year!

The story for this photo goes, Belinda was enjoying the sun on her balcony, MSNed me and told me there were birds on my balcony, so I snuck downstairs with my SLR and took shots of the birds through my kitchen doors (hence the glare and reflection and what not, especially to the right), but I think I scared them away when I tried to open the screen door to get a better shot. I actually didn’t see the second bird (its hiding in the flower pot behind the angels, you can see its tail) until I scared both of them off :|. Haha and apparently my mom saw these birds trying to nest in the flower pot a few days ago and tried to scare them away and hence she stuck the angels in the flower pot, but I guess birds aren’t scared of angels =p. My preference is, let them nest all they want at the balcony so they don’t chirp outside my window at 4am in the morning =p.
