Bugs for dinner, yuck!!!

The circle whole in the front of the birdhouse is too small for birds, so a wren created a nest inside by entering in the sides of this birdhouse. This mother wren is leaving the birdhouse to get some bugs for her babies.
 I watched her from my kitchen window as she flew back and forth feeding her babies.
 Not sure but I think she has a baby wren in her mouth as she did not have it before she entered the next.  Then she flew off.
 You suppose she noticed me taking her picture?
 Got on our tractor and went touring in the pasture to get some wildflowers shots but ended up with a shot of our neighbor's horse, Reese.

Bugs, bird, and wildflowers

I was several feet away to get most of these shots.  I'm horrified when a bug touches me so I am comfortable at a distance!  On the last shot, I didn't notice the spider in the wildflower until I viewed the shot on my computer.  I could photograph nature all day long if the weather permitted and the chiggers would LEAVE ME ALONE!!!  Anyways, hope you enjoy these creatures and wildflowers God gave us to enjoy...
