Beautiful photo captured!
Thank you! 🙂
Wow! Love the three tenors, Takami ❤ You got amazing pictures!!
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 🙂
Reblogged this on From 1 Blogger 2 Another.
Thank you 🙂
Sweetness overload 🙂 I imagine their mama working non-stop to feed this trio 🙂
Thank you! It was indeed sweetness overload. Their mama and papa worked very hard to feed this trio. And all 3 chicks successfully left the nest – with their parents – and moved on to their next destination ❤
Where do your swallows go for winter? Ours go to Africa.
That’s a good question! I think our swallow may revert back to Southeastern Asia to pass the winter. But I will have to research to make sure. 🙂
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 🙂
I love watching swallows, Takami, especially when the adults feed the young ones. Such dedicated parents!
Swallows are indeed a joy to watch Tanja! And both parents were working lots of overtime to keep their little ones fed and happy. Thanks to their effort, all three chicks successfully fledged and the family moved on together. I miss them, but hope they arrive at their next destination safely 🙂
I also hope they will be safe, and return to you next spring!
Wonderful to see you again ~ and your first photo is priceless 🙂 Perfectly timed, and the three tenors indeed. Wishing you a great week ahead, Takami ~
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!
So beautiful… 💕🐥💕 life is miraculous indeed … 😌 much love and best wishes, dear Takami 😘
Thank you my dear friend ❤ Yes, life is miraculous and precious. My warm wishes to you & hugs always ❤ 🙂
I love this series, Takami. The first photograph is indeed ‘3 tenors’. So adorable.
Thank you Jolandi. Really happy you liked it! These little guys brightened my day 🙂
ありがとうございます! 😀
So cute!
Thank you 🙂
Lovely series, your first capture is adorable, Takami!
Thanks Donna 🙂 They were very adorable 😀
Baby birds must be the most demanding of all creatures. Though I suppose most of us would be demanding, if we were trapped in a tiny nest and wholly dependent on our parents.
Oh yes, I’m pretty sure I’d be just as proactive in voicing my “indignation” at being crammed into a tiny space…and having to share that space with siblings 😛 😀
Haha! At least their reward is well worth it: flight!
You have captured so well some priceless moments.I have been trying to take a photo of these birds for a long time, without success.
Thank you Sylvie. I appreciate your nice comment ❤
I understand it is very challenging to make photos of these birds. I tried for 3~4 years until this moment. I believe that you will take a good photo of these birds soon! 🙂
Best wishes,
Takami
😊
Wow, fantastic ❤️
Thank you!! ❤
My pleasure ❤️

How amazing! Just wonderful. Thank you. I’m going to reblog this so others can enjoy it as well. Thank you for that as well. ❤
Thank you 😀 These baby swallows were very vocal and did not hesitate to “voice” their needs 🙂 Mama and Papa Swallow were very busy 😀
So wonderful!
Thank you! 🙂
Awesome! I love all animals but birds are so awesome to watch.
Thank you! Birds never fail to inspire ❤
Takami, hope I spelled your name correct. How are you doing? Hope all is well, have a nice weekend. 🙂
Amazing ! ❤
Thank you, Takami ! 😘 🤗
Thank you! They are beautiful and active birds 😀 ❤
What a nice little portfolio.
Thank you Ray. Really appreciate your comment.
Thinking of everyone affected by the storms. (Japan has had a rough time this summer too…)
You’re welcome. Thank you, and I know you have. Climate change is real and here. — Ray
Amazing photos, Takami, and absolutely adorable. 🙂
Thank you Carol 🙂 These little guys were quite vocal. Mama and Papa Swallow were kept busy. This family has now migrated to spend the colder months elsewhere. I eagerly await their return next year!
Your posts teach me a great deal about patience and artistry, Takami. You continue to observe throughout the year, capturing the wonder of life unfolding at crucial moments.
Your comment made my day Carol 🙂 Nature does teach us about patience and waiting for things to happen in their own time.
❤
Beautiful shot!
Thank you! These swallow babies were quite vocal and demanding 🙂
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 ❤
可愛いですね!😍
3羽のヒナは、エサを貰えるように
自己アピール力が大事ですね!
このシリーズ好きです☺️👍
Nasukoさま
いつもありがとうございます! ❤
おっしゃる通り、ちょー猛烈なアピールでした、ほんっとに可愛かったです 😀 😀
very nice Takami. But do they sing in Italian or Japanese?
They sing in the “baby-swallow chirping language”! 😀
marvellous photos, Takami. Love the title too.
Thank you Tish. So glad you liked this series 🙂
So incredibly cute. I’m going to hear them in my head all day. 🙂
They were adorable (and very vocal) 🙂 I hope they will give you happy thoughts today 😀
Ah, splendid. Twice a year we have the generations return to lay their eggs beneath the deck. Here are four who have yet to find their wings awaiting mother’s return.
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.
Congratulations, I wish you and yours all the best in your new home and may the winged wonders grace it with their generations.
Thank you!!
They are so cute! You have captured them so very well, Takami! The one on the left must be Pavarotti since he has the biggest mouth. 🙂
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 😀
