Quick Growing Up

It's been hot.  I noticed even honey bees often come over to the bird bath for a quick drink.  

                                          Left one:    "It's your turn, honey."

                                          Right one:  "On a hot day like this, I have 

                                                           to drink a lot to avoid dehydration."

I saw a young Goldfinch together with her mom, but she does not feed the young any longer

               Mom:  "I am not mean, but want to be just right.  

                        Any young one has to grow up quickly in the nature."

  Infant;  "OK.  I'll do just as you told me."

"See, I can be independent."
