@ynadotblossom ーI saw a pile a poop and looked up to see where it came from.

@MsCetinel - Aww, I would love to have swallows in my backyard. They're such beautiful aerialists.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! So cute! Thanks 4 sharing... we also have swallows in the place where I live, they nest here all summer. Some of my neighbors don't like them 'cuz of the poop xD But for me it is a real treat having them nesting in my balcony, and see 'em takin' showers in the rain. They're adorable, I don't mind cleaning poop xDDD
