A few days ago while out on a local back road I discovered a European Starling nest with two hungry chicks hanging out and begging to be fed. I was able to observe their behavior for two mornings. Whenever the parent approached the nest both little ones would become very excited and open their brightly colored beaks. This bright 'gape' and the wide open mouth serves as a visual cue to encourage the parent to feed them.

the squirrels really cleaned out the innards of this pumpkin... the shell was the only thing left... it weighed nothing! I was going to toss it, but decided to see what would happen next.... and it gives me something to photograph...

These pink and purple tulips were growing on the grounds of the Provo Temple in mid-May. Usually all the tulip flowers have disappeared by this time of year, but we had a very late spring. The way the petals are wide open gives these flowers a very cartoonish look, like flowers drawn in a Dr. Seuss book.
