    • They were quite the handful! Mama and Papa Swallow were very busy 😀 But, it was a happy ending – all 3 chicks successfully left the nest with their parents. I wish them a happy life 🙂

  1. Amazing trio of shots of the trio of swallows, Takami. Just amazing and you caught them like they had no idea you were watching. Reading your earlier comments, it is great to hear that they have moved on with their family, and hopefully they are all settled down in a nice home elsewhere now 🙂 From your images, it looks like they were quite a handdful lol 😀

    • Thank you for your lovely comment Mabel ❤
      Yes, they have moved on with their family, and I hope they reached their next destination safely. They were 3 small birds, but had big attitudes 😀 They were indeed quite a handful, but Mama & Papa Swallows did a wonderful job to care for the chicks 🙂

    • Thank you my friend 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed these little guys. Mama and Papa Swallow were busy, but all 3 chicks flew the nest successfully and to the next chapter of their lives. Bittersweet, but also happy for them.

      You may have already seen it (if so, apologies for the shameless plug) but the entry before this one — I thought you might & your siblings might be able to relate:

      We are finally getting a break from the heat-wave, although tropical storms and typhoons continue to plague many areas of the world 😦 Hope you are doing well and that staying inspired by your muse.

      • Hi Takami, good to hear the chicks are out of the nest and are enjoying their freedom. Just went to your last post ~ simply perfect 🙂

        I’m doing well, back in the Czech Republic and missed the big typhoon in Hong Kong a few days ago. My flat there was OK, but the foyer of my building had the doors blown away and all the windows broken 🙂 A very powerful storm…hope this typhoon avoids you. Cheers to a great week.

        • That’s good news to know that your flat in HK suffered only minor damage. Hope the repairs won’t take too long. And hope Europe is faring a little better than this part of the globe weather-wise!

  3. This made me laugh. Swallow babies are very noisy – we had them nesting under our porch roof every year – and in the chimney, too – those usually ended up in the fireplace – took me a few seasons to figure out how to feed them.

    • Thank you Noelle! So happy this series brought a smile to your face. Yes indeed, Swallow babies are quite vocal (and very demanding). But it’s music to my years. I can imagine you must have had many adventures with the swallows nesting under your porch and chimney and fireplace (!). Wishing you a lovely weekend ahead ❤

  4. 可愛いですね!😍

    このシリーズ好きです☺️👍

    • What a wonderful photo! Thank you so much for sharing. These four look so well-fed and happy (and demanding) 🙂 It must be a real pleasure when generations of swallows build their nests in/near your home. They must sense it is a safe haven.

      My husband and I had the good fortune to buy our home this summer, and we’re hoping that swallows will someday choose our humble abode for their nests. Thanks so much again, for your wonderful comment.

    • Thank you Mr. Hien.
      I waited all summer for a “close-up” opportunity with swallow families. This family made their nest at one of my favourite restaurants (!) and all guests enjoyed checking in on their progress. This photo was taken a few days before they flew from the nest with Mama and Papa. As you can see, they were quite the trio and kept their parents very busy. Something about them reminded me of the famous three tenors, and of course Pavarotti 😀
