Magpie Nests
Tonight Susan, the children, and I visited some friends who are living in an old farm home on the Fall River near Chester. While everybody was socializing I photographed.
Last winter I started photographing Magpie Nests. Magpies make large, circular, almost impenetrable structes in low-lying dense trees and shrubs. In the summer, they are hard to see because of the vegetation, but in the winter the structures are quite obvious. Now that fall is here I'm able to photograph them again.

interesting project. i prefer the more distant view to the close-ups.
Thanks for the input. I've collected ca. 300 magpie nest photographs, mostly close-ups. I'm not sure what I'll do with them yet. It sure is fun with digital though. Perhaps I'll print them in a large grid. Maybe I'll turn them into mouse pads, or print them on coffee cups, or t-shirts, or fridge magnets. I'll keep you posted.
The day you print your photos on coffee cups, t-shirts, and fridge magnets is the day I start scrapbooking.
Yeah, scrap books. I could make a magpie nest scrap book. Thanks for the idea.
if you have three hundred, maybe you should do an edit and make a portfolio
That's probably a better idea. Mark, you're always the voice of reason.
I can just picture you printing these out onto magnets, probably 1 inch in size. then just covering your fridge with them. : )
