I was sitting at the computer on the Eastside of the appartment at about 4.00 p.m. and was suddenly attracted by the reflection of the sun in the window of the opposite house. What do you do? You take a photo, or 2 or 3 and choose the best. I liked this one as it kept the darkness of the sky and our 3 year old magpie nest could be seen in the opposite tree. I do not know if it is still used, but no-one will remove it – you never know.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!

Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

Love the haunting feel of the darkness. Why would anyone want to remove a nest? That’s madnes

That is why the nest is still there. You only see it in Winter and it looks good. In Summer it is hidden by the leaves. I don’t think the nest is in use, but there is a magpie colony there.

It would be lovely to be able to see into the nest in Summer and see if anyone is in there

My mistake. I am writing on my iPad and it often doesn’t write what I want. Should be „so they must appear …..“

Love that shot! That nest is gorgeous.
I take one and see if it comes as I wanted. If I am not happy, why rarely happens, I take 2-3. Your question made me think of my habits. But like my today’s picture on Mundane Monday is one shot. 🙂

I vary according to what I am taking a photo of. Sunsets change quickly and I wanted to be sure of the capture.
