The Gems
An update on our latest front yard drama; Octomom decided to deposit another egg in her nest to make this her third batch of twins:
She also really didn't care for me snapping shots of her with the camera, so I left her alone for the last weeks of June. During which time these little darlings hatched:
Like their many sibs before them, the babies are very quiet and never utter a peep. Their mom leaves them alone for only short periods of time so I had to be quick and take these pics when she left one morning to grab breakfast.
This nest is in a tricky position, so in order not to disturb them I've stopped watering the plant. It may not survive this time, but one look at these little faces makes it worth losing one sweet potato vine.
Because they're so identical I've named them Castor and Polydeuces. Cute, yes?
