The Happiness of Five

Today definitely got off to its start as one of those days.  Didn't feel great.  Work staring at me.  Monday looming on the horizon and full of deadlines.

Where was I going to find happiness in this little brew of a headache waiting to happen?

And then the nest of little tweeties struck up their choir of "feed me!s"  I wandered over to take a peek, and, to my amazement, all five baby birds were facing forward.

I made a mad dash for my camera, grabbed the tall chair, slowly opened the screen door and took it all out onto the porch.

They immediately stopped tweeting.

Standing on the chair, camera on manual focus, two different camera settings, and we were off to the first shot of all five baby birds.

Of course, could even one of them have smiled for the camera?  ~ Paloma
