The artwork The Jet Nest is situated by the West side of the international airport in Keflavík Iceland. It is designed by Magnús Tómasson. The Jet Nest shows a big steel egg where a jet wing is peeking out like a little bird breaking out of it's egg. The piece is very simbolic where it stands on a pile of Icelandic rocks. Magnús Tómasson , the designer, says that the idea first came to him many years ago. "I was working on a series on the history of birds mentioning a small egg and on it a small beek appears. I worked on it some more and the outcome was the Jet Nest, my biggest piece." It is situated north of the air terminal in a floodlight pond.
Giới thiệu về chim yến, bài viết được trích dẫn từ website www.yensaolovenest.com
Các chú chim yến của chúng ta so về mặt kích thước thì nhỏ bé hơn nhiều loài chim khác (chỉ cân nặng 5,4 g và dài 9 cm ), nhưng về nghị lực thì chẳng nhỏ bé chút nào. Đôi chân nhỏ bé dường như được ấn định cho việc không chịu đi ở dưới mặt đất mà chỉ chịu móc vào những vách đá, vách tường treo leo để làm nơi trú ngụ.
Nhưng có một điều mà ít ai biết đến là loài chim yến ăn gì, vì sao lại ở trong hang đá hoặc trong nhà? Tại sao chim yến lại làm tổ bám vào những vách đá dựng đứng? Và tại sao tôi lại nói chim yến là loài chim bé nhỏ mà kiên cường?
Chim yến là loài chim trời sống tự do tự tại không chịu đựng cuộc sống nuôi nhốt. Các chú chim ăn côn trùng lúc đang bay lượn và uống sương mai. Gần hết cuộc đời của chim yến lên ở trên bầu trời, chim yến rất ít ở trong nhà yến thường tung tăng bay lượn không một chút ngơi nghỉ.Yến là những loài chim ở trên không nhiều nhất và một trong những loài bay nhanh nhất trong giới động vật.

Bluebird nest in Nestbox #1, 2005
Look at Mrs. Bluebird's lovely handiwork! Beakwork? Anyway, this nest is ready for eggs. I saw the pair this morning acting very excited, taking turns going into the nestbox, fluttering around on top... I will not be a bit surprised if there's an egg there tomorrow. :-)
Several people here have been inquiring about the bluebirds, and I find it really touching that there is so much interest in the nesting of these lovely little birds. The drama is about to begin again!
A new section of the Airline Trail was opened this past winter in Lebanon (CT). It passes a large, shallow pond with many standing dead trees. The trees hold a number of Great Blue Heron nests. Yesterday was my first visit to this section of the trail. There were six nests -- two with nest-sitters, two with standers -- and what looked like the beginning of a seventh nest. Other walkers, though, told me the partial nest was not a new one under construction. Instead, it was a former nest under deconstruction - and some of the other nests reportedly seemed to have gotten bigger overnight. If so, there may have been some stick wars going on. Over the course of the hour I watched the nests, I saw a couple of skirmishes. One bird (probably male?) spent most of the time standing at attention on a nest, but twice he left to fly in a circle and try to land on another nest, where he was repulsed by that nest-sitter. Since males and females take turns incubating their eggs, it isn't possible to tell whether the nest-sitter was female (in which the landing attempt could have been an attempt at mating) or male (a territorial show). After each skirmish, he returned to his original nest.
Was trying out a Canon SX40 for the day.
On 29 September, NEST opened its doors for Open House Zurich. Visitors had the chance to get in contact with the researchers involved and take a look at the DFAB HOUSE, SolAce, Urban Mining & Recycling and the Water Hub.
I heard that the Swainson's hawks had returned to a nest they occupied a few years ago so today I decided to go have a look
Hopefully I will get the shot I've been wanting to get this year.

Nests of Antipodia chaostola subsp. leucophaea (Tasmanian Chaostola Skipper) caterpillars found on Gahnia radula in the Peter Murrell Nature Reserve, Tasmania.
This is probably the easiest way to recognised this species as the butterfly is very similar to other skipper species. Other skipper caterpillars form nests in Gahnia but only Chaostola Skipper caterpillar makes it entrance at the bottom.
This endemic subspecies is listed as Endangered at both the state and federal level.

Celebrate spring and nature! Adorable little treats that look just like real bird nests. They are made with chow mein noodles.
This tree full of weaver birds' nests was at Juffure in The Gambia, the home village of Kunta Kinte (who was abducted into slavery in the 18th century, and whose story was told in Alex Haley's book, Roots)
The wasp (Vespula vulgaris) nest at the top of the garden is progressing well, and starting to spill out of the box. Quite a few wasps are removing material from the nest, as here.
If flowers could smile they would have a smile like Charlie’s, which is the first thing I noticed when I asked if she would be part of this project, a huge welcoming smile, excitement and infectious energy.
Charlie owns a florist in Crows Nest called Red Fragrance Floral Design. I asked her what was her journey to becoming a florist and she has had a range of jobs. She has worked in hospitality, receptionist and marketing but my feeling is that this isn’t a job anymore but a passion and she has found a way to make her passion her work as well.
A little side note, so far quite a few of the people I have photographed are making their passions pay for their lives, they are turning their passion into passionate jobs and many of them are around similar ages, Gen Y and younger Gen X’ers. As we face global uncertainty brought about by greed, and yes I do think its that simple, the greedier we are the more we want the more people are pushed to believing more is better and we live outside our means. I wonder if it will be people like Charlie and others who have small business with big hearts that will in the end be what helps turn things around?
Back to Charlie! I asked why this shop, what made her choose this place? What she said was “it was dirty, dark, with concrete floors, apple green walls and a violet ceiling” for a moment I thought I was back in Newtown. But she went on “it was a blank canvas, it was something I could make my own and it needed love”. And Charlie now has been in this shop for the past 2½ years. So how does she describe the personality of her shop? Its light, open, organic, textural it’s a place where people come and feel something about what they are going to buy. A place where people can interact, touch and help create their product. For Charlie working in the floral industry is privilege “working with nature is amazing, you get to hear the stories behind the flowers” I like that. Think about it when someone goes to a florist to buy flowers those flowers will have a story. Maybe its to say sorry, or I love you, maybe its to say goodbye and I will miss you or maybe its just to brighten up the day. Charlie shares in those stories and her floral arrangements capture that moment and express the feelings of the person buying them. They are gifts of pure emotions.
When we were talking about Crows Nest I asked her what was her thoughts on Crows Nest how would you describe the personality of the place? Charlie describes Crows Nest as a busy village, it sits in-between two busy roads, so you have to turn off to get their and when you do you will find a warm, friendly, low key but busy little village. This village has a huger and that is reflected by the amount of cafes in this little village, its always eating and drinking and like having friends over for dinner, when there is good food and good wine their a good times, which is what you will find in Crows Nest.
Charlie your shop is part of Crows Nest but more importantly it’s your personality that comes through that shop that adds to what Crows Nest is.

Moved a paving slab revealing an Ants Nest complete with eggs - after I had stopped them attacking me I watched them remove the eggs to a lower level
Common Loon turning the eggs on its nest on a wild lake in Vilas County near Boulder Junction, WI. 6/8/2019
This odd looking nest was at the top of a tall powerline on "raven row". There was a pair of ravens sitting nearby, although they seem to be much more skittish than Common Ravens and flew away as we drove up.
A yellow-jacket stung my son. Thye had built their nest in the old telephone pole lining my neighbor's driveway.
The NYC DOT Art Program partnered with the Freshkills Park Alliance to present, “NEST,” a sculptural configuration located at the St. George Ferry Terminal in Staten Island. The three totem-like sculptures symbolically represent the relationship between the bird populations and habitats found in Staten Island’s Freshkill Park to the urban environment that surrounds it. “NEST” aims to bring new attention to the wildlife in the park, most of which New Yorkers do not typically have exposure to, through embellished, moving images secured into the stacked boxes within the sculpture, that can be seen changing shape and color from different viewpoints. Practicing architect and artist, Kirk Finkel, also worked with local young community members to create the interior habitats of the boxes.
