Nesting bowl set
Largest bowl 7 x 11 inches
From a series of pots, inspired by a friend, whose main goal in life was to be "the pebble in the pond"
This bowls were wheel trown and all nest inside eachother. The smallest bowl is part of my Cerial Bowl Series, the middle bowl is part of my Side Dish Series and the large bowl is a hefty serving size.
I love making these and love using my traditional dots.

I used Ayumi's scrappy hourglass tutorial for the patchwork part.
This is the five different sizes of Lotus Bowls I have. I was inspired to arrange them like nesting bowls by Whitney Smith.
Great Blue Heron and its chick nesting in the Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Florida. The birds in the background are Anhinga chicks (cream colored) and the Anhinga adult female (black and cream) above the chicks.
This is a Great Kiskadee. I saw him/her at La Fortuna, Costa Rica.
It appears to be nesting.

Cormorants are medium-to-large seabirds, the majority of which have mainly dark plumage. They are coastal birds rather than oceanic and some have colonized inland waterways. They range around the world except for the central Pacific islands. All are fish-eaters who dive from the surface. Under water they propel themselves with their feet.
The cormorants in this photograph appear to be the "Brandt's Cormorant" named for J.F. Brandt, a Russian naturalist who first described the bird in 1838. In California, Brandt's are common with over 75% of the world's population residing along the Pacific Coast from southern British Colombia southward to Baja, California.
Brandt's Cormorants are "colonial nesters" which means that they nest and breed in close proximity as a group, often sharing communal behaviors for the benefit of the entire group, including both adults and chicks. The male Brandt's Cormorant chooses the nest site and attracts the female to it. Once paired, they build a nest of seaweed, eelgrass, and algae, held together by droppings. The male gathers the nest material from the water, and the female builds the nest. Pairs may reuse the nest, adding more material to it each year. Both the male and female incubate the four eggs, and both regurgitate food for the young.
At work near the pond there is a pair of geese that definitely have a nest. The female is always sitting there, and often ducks down to try to hide when anyone comes near. Luckily I have a long lens.
Blue Tit taking nesting material in and out of my garden nest box. I only put this box up a few weeks ago so I'm delighted that a pair have moved in.
Not to worry, no nests were endangered with this. This photo was taken at the rookery at The Alligator Farm in St. Augustine with a long zoom lens. This beauty is nestled on the nest tucked in behind the flora.

This pattern is really well written--and not to mention totally adorable! These guys are going to be for Serena for her first birthday next week. I think she will love how colorful they are!
This was taken at a considerable distance to avoid disturbance of the nesting birds. This is always important, as any disturbance could lead to abandonment and unnecessary stress.
We are two months into the breeding season at Wakodahatchee Wetlands, with several gbh nests already complete and a few still being built. This is "phase one" and we would hope that in a another month or so when the chicks have arrived that construction will begin again.
