I found this little bird recently. As far as I could tell, he had fallen out of the nest. The mama bird was sitting up and away from him watching him. They were calling out to each other but she was leaving him be, which I couldn't figure out. I'm hoping it was because I was close by.

This shot is really resonating with me at the moment. I recently made a big mental and emotional leap and committed to finishing a long standing project. I am finally going to finish writing the instructional photography book that I have been working on for so long. My goal is to be finished by the end of November (if not sooner). I'm very excited about it but, for reasons I don't yet understand, I think I have been afraid to finish it. So, I just made the decision and threw the book out of the nest so to speak. My book has safely sat in my head for way too long and now it needs to fly.

Wish me luck friends!
