Bible Art share with a little extra Deut. 22:6

Hi Everyone, I have a bible art journaling page that i would like to share today. It's a little different for me because i added photo's to go along with it. I found a birds nest in my fern before i left on vacation. I've been taking pictures along the way. I found the nest with only two little blue eggs in it and daily i'd go out and check the progress. It ended up having 4 eggs total before i left on vacation.

Anyway, i was thinking, What does the bible say about Birds nests? I found this verse in

and thought that i'd share. Deut. 22:6

I loved the idea of using pictures also in my bible and putting them as a waterfall and then writing out my story about my nest and when i found them.

The Nest is a stamp that i had in my stash. I think that it might be from TAC. The Bird is a new Layered stamp set that i have from Hero Arts.
