Our Temporary Guest and the Azaleas





So we have had a house guest for the past week or so, a dove (of some kind), who has laid her eggs in one of our hanging baskets and has been sitting on them diligently, and thankfully doesn't seem too frightened of us. This week the azaleas are in full bloom, so thought I'd attach a photo or two of those. Enjoy!

Well, I have marvelous timing. I hadn't checked your blog in over a year and voila! A fresh post. :)

I'm almost certain that's a mourning dove. They have the most melancholy call. Follow this link to confirm.

I think Sarah's right, definitely looks like a mourning dove.

Your azaleas are gorgeous!
