The  Candler Park Brainstorming Party was a huge success!  Thanks for putting it together Jay!  And thanks for all those who showed up!  Here are a couple shots to enjoy.

Here are some photos from the block party on Josephine St this past Saturday.  It was a huge success!

This morning Alex, my three year old, and I went for yet another popsicle at the Candler Park Market. He got a sherbet Push-Up like he always does, I got a boatload of napkins, and we headed outside to sit at the little cafe tables in front of the market.

Much to our delight, we were treated to a bird show that included Mama Sparrow, Papa Sparrow, and at least three adorable baby sparrows that appeared to be nothing but giant mouths. They had built a makeshift nest under the eaves of the roof, and little bits of tell-tale nest material were dangling down from their perch.

In the fifteen minutes we were there, Mama and Papa Bird must have made at least ten trips to and from the babies, delivering some kind of dilectable treat, although we couldn't tell what it was. They also gave me the hairy eyeball when I tried to get close enough to take a picture.

The point of the story? Well, there isn't one. But if you like birds, and who doesn't, treat yourself to a nice snack or beverage at the Candler Park Market, and keep an eye out for our new bird neighbors.

JoJo Ross, the organizer of yesterday's fabulous Easter egg hunt in Candler Park, sent along this link to photos.

Thanks to JoJo for all the hard work to make this event so much fun, and thanks to all who came out to enjoy it.
