Their Penthouse Suite

Thank you, Pat for taking note of my desert bird photography. I have about 700 different birds to post, (although I won't), this particular couple really kept me engaged with their life. It was quite a privilege to do so. I have only posted a few of the images of their story. They had a front and rear entrance to this home.

Thank you Alinna. I am so glad for your appreciation of my story behind this cactus wren couple. Their home had a front and back entrance.

Constance! How lovely of you to visit my gallery and share your lovely thoughts about my photography. Thank you for that and choosing this as one of your favorites too. I really appreciate it! This cactus wren couple gave me some great story telling photography and a joy to follow their journey for a while. Janet 💕

This Cane Cholla Cactus has quite a story to it, sad in the end, but I derived much enjoyment from the Cactus Wrens that set up housekeeping in it. Was amazing to view their daily activities. I like the way the male and female work together in their endeavors. I truly appreciate your enthusiastic interest in my "compelling" descriptions, so nice of you to say. A BIG thank you for the HOMEPAGE FEATURE, in your marvey Art Group, "ARIZONA!" Also for the luscious words expressed here, I am delighted to know how you feel. Just the emotions I hoped to evoke. There is more to their story. Janet💕

Wow, Deborah! How wonderful to hear from you. It’s been a while. So glad to see you are okay. With the camera zoomed in on the cactus wren’s activities at its home in the blooming Cholla Cactus, it creates a blurred background (a natural abstract background, without a need of photography enhancement programs, which I don’t have). A creosote bush is in bloom with yellow flowers, a touch of it is in the front too. My shots of the couple in this cactus are November 2017, February 2018, and April 2018. This cactus was removed in the summer of 2018, before it fell over. It was a bit top heavy, and in a path made to get around in our natural desert acre. I felt a bit sad for me and the birds, they had to find a new home. I have more to post with these cactus wrens keeping house. Thank you dear lady for your insightful, inspiring words expressed. Your reaction to this is just what I hoped to evoke. I appreciate your interest and choosing this as one of your favorites too. I truly appreciate it! Big hugs, Janet 💕

John! Always so wonderful of you to stop by my gallery to Congratulate me for the HOMEPAGE FEATURE in your awesome Art Group, “IMAGES THAT EXCITE YOU!” I am SO happy to have my photography recognized in this special way! I really appreciate it! Janet 💕

Oh you don’t know how satisfied. Tirelessly keeping house daily. I joy to watch and photograph. This cactus wren couple have quite a story, sharing more of it soon. Thank you for liking it and choosing it as one of your favorites too. I truly appreciate it! Janet 💕

Thank you Ruth for stopping by to leave a comment about this. I am glad you feel it's beautiful. I appreciate that! It is a Cane Cholla Cactus in bloom. It stands quite tall and Jerry removed the lower branches. The nest does seem as though it was built in the Penthouse. It has a front and back entrance. I have enjoyed their daily activities of housekeeping.
