The Chickadees have won the new nesting box over the Bluebirds. The male and the female were both busy gathering their nest material yesterday. It was gray and cold yesterday--hoping for better sunshine shots today.
I made something and I know it will never sell in my store, nor will I ever use it. Shall I do a little lottery or something? Anyone want to win this
What would you do with it? The one writing the most fun comment will have it :-D

The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape (also Lednice-Valtice Area or Lednice-Valtice Complex, Czech: Lednicko-valtický areál) is a cultural-natural complex of 283,09 km² in the Czech Republic, South Moravian Region, close to Břeclav and Mikulov.
The Lednice-Valtice Area is registered in the list of monuments protected as World Heritage by UNESCO next to another site – Pálava Landscape Protected Area, registered by UNESCO only a few years prior to the nearby Pálava Biosphere Reserve. Such close proximity of two landscape systems protected by UNESCO is world-unique.
At the end of the 18th century, the local manor lordship – the House of Liechtenstein – began to create a unique manmade landscape complex: The Lednice – Valtice Area. During the 19th century, the Liechtenstein family continued transforming the area, which has since been called the "Garden of Europe", into a large landscape park with two centres: Valtice Castle (and contiguous town) and Lednice Castle (and contiguous village).
Lednice is the best-known tourist destination in south Moravia. All roads in the Chateau park lead to the Minaret. The gallery, 60 metres high, provides a view of the entire Garden of Europe. It is easy to see from this point the magnificent Pálava Hills and Malé Karpaty Mountains, when weather allows. The whole Lednice-Valtice Area shows many other sightseeings as middle-age castle imitations like Janohrad, the empire temple Apollónův chrám, the classic salet Tři Grácie, and the classic castle Rybniční zámeček. All of these sightseeings are connected by a network of bike roads located in wooded area.

Did spend a nice summer weekend in the south Moravia, once more enjoying Pálava region and the area around Lednice - it is truly one of the most beautiful parts of the Czech republic.
Wasps nesting in a tree. Quite aggressive. I took a few shots and was quickly stung and had to beat a hasty retreat.
Great set of nesting tables newly made in the vintage industrial style. One side is open and one fully metal; they can be arranged a number of ways...
The woodstork had been working hard, bringing in nesting material all morning, and for some reason let this piece drop. The sequence pictured below shows how it happened but not why.... I guess, however, that birds, like people, have days when things "go wrong" and you just have to keep flying onward.
Wow, it's been over a year since I uploaded to flickr! I just graduated at the end of May, and I finally bought the 5D mark ii + 50mm 1.4 lens, and what a dream they both are! I absolutely love the freedom that full frame allows for, and I plan on uploading at least once a week! :)
