Last weeks card, last year's bird house

I finally finished that watercolor notercard I've been working on and thought I'd add pictures of the Iris I painted on this bird house as well. As you can see there's an unusal nest in it this year, we sat out in the yard and watched it being built and got quite a kick out of seeing the bird make up to four tries to insert each stick. I'm seldom that determined to do anything so I took it as natures lesson on ambition for the day...and a darned funny sight as well.
