Birds of a Feather

So, I was getting ready to feed the fish in the back pond the other day when I noticed these two sitting on the adirondack chair that John built.  At first, I thought I should shoo them off of his nice chair (bird poo not good for wood...), however they looked like they were getting friendly with each other.  They were lifting their wings around each other and huddling close.  So, I decided to postpone my trip out to the backyard and watch them for a few minutes...

I am so glad that I did!  I would have missed out on this special moment.  A few minutes later this is what I saw — a momma mourning dove and her babies.  Cute family photo, don't you think?
