This is a photo of one of the Phoebe parents feeding the babies. I had to take this from a, less than perfect, distance:-) I like the blend of manmade and natural elements here.
People are a part of the ecosystem. We are not separate-viewing from afar.
My grandfather used to take me on evening drives around his farm. From his vehicle, we viewed foxes playing without fear. They had adapted to the sounds and sights of machinery. They even thrived while the farmers worked around them!
At the risk of sounding political, I want everyone to know that ,from my experience, man and Nature CAN live in harmony. Those against manmade, "eco-friendly" projects in wild areas, may want to reconsider the anticipated negative effects on the animals.
Parents observe a child building a tower up, then knocking it down. The parents use sentences with the words “ The white rectangle is larger than the square blue container.”
Self esteem building is included as the parents affirm the child’s efforts with words like: Good job! And ‘Yes, you can build another tower again!’

I'm using Google Earth to track my parents flight and what happens when you get close the arriving airport? The data stops. And my parents are stuck forever.

It was so wonderful having my parents visit in such a troubling time, its been so long since I have seen them.
