Nest Egg

From Nature Photography

I hiked up near Thorn Creek and found these pockets in the dirt that were collecting pine needles next to an old mine. There were also a lot of small round rocks that had been left over from the mining days. To me the pockets resembled a little nest so I built up one of the pockets with more pine needles and placed three of the round rocks into the nest. I photographed it just as the sun was setting and casting a low orange light onto the nest.

Enjoy!
