"Masterful Craftsmanship"
“Which is greater, the student or the teacher?
Which has greater understanding, the apprentice or the master?
Who is more admired, the instrumentalist or the composer?
We marvel at the wonderful works of creation such as the bird who makes a nest with all the intricate detail and weaving it’s construction, do we forget who it was that made the bird and gave it the ability?
Time to remember the “Master Craftsman” who shows his love in his creation.”
This is a photo of a nest I found on my way to take my little girl to school. This photo is for my great friend George who wanted to see in more detail the construction of the nest, a beautiful talent we can see bird have. This photo is ‘as is’ straight from the camera.

Thank you Ursula, so very much my friend. It was George who prompted to have me put a closer picture up of my nest! The stunning abilities the birds have.

With 2 hands, 10 fingers and a bunch of tools, I’m pretty certain I can’t match a bird with just a beak!
Great angle and lighting Shawn.
Bradley Shawn ... replied
Thank you so very much my friend. I don’t know anyone who could really, not as well as a bird can anyway. I appreciate your compliment and encouragement.
