Big Bird

Worm Ready

One of Winterthur's gardens was designed for children where this outsized bird nest was created. We loved it. I made John get into the nest so I could take his picture. The original idea was for him to be in there with a bunch of kids doing the same thing. We waited and waited, but no kids came (it was kind of rainy out). It is probably for the best. Any responsible chaperone probably would have thought we were weird.
