This was taken during the winter of 2011 in Forest Park. The trees leaves are gone and the birds have long since flown from the nest. But often they or another will come back the following spring and reinvigorate the nest with life anew just as the tree produces new life as the branches leaf out.

Such a beautiful big nest. Lovely tree photo.

The starkness of the bare branches brings out the abandoned nest in greater relief. Lovely shot.

Thank you Sherry … I think that it was at a pretty cold time and looking at the nest made me think of spring.
Raven said:
Thank you Dreaming.

I love it! Ours are just becoming visible with the leaves falling. There’s a big squirrels nest in the tree next to the house–should make for fun watching come winter time!
Lovely photo, ma’am.

So earthy, and primal, and honest. I love it. Thank you for posting.
