Our neighbors moved and gave us a birdhouse to use in our backyard bird sanctuary we have been developing over the years. It was not a bluebird house that is typically sold but a regular square type we sat on the wide rail of our deck up against our house. We were surprised to see a pair of bluebirds checking out this birdhouse and deciding to breed in it as it was not nailed down and when rain and bad winds came we were concerned it would blow over. We were on the deck often but they decided on it anyway and we had the privilege of observing the steps they take to bring forth their young. This image is one of those that I was able to capture of them together. This dead branch on our pine tree was one of their favorite landing places as it was a beeline to the birdhouse. They laid four eggs and all four hatched. I watched them grow and I was told they would just disappear one day and they did. The nest was left clean. This image was taken with a Nikon Nikor 55-300mm lens and I used two textures, one from The Daily Texture and one of my own and also digitally painted this in Corel with oil, watercolor brushes and one impasto brush.
