Every time I step outside, there’s a new adventure with our resident doves. Maybe I should start a new blog just for them! LOL I’ll be back to posting sneak peeks and other goodies soon. But for now, here’s the latest on the birds. They are SO protective of their young! I headed out the door one day to go to a shoot, and mama or papa dove swooped in right in front of me, flapping his/her wings. I had to turn around and press up against the door until he backed off. On another day, I was outside taking photos of the whole front door scene, with the flowers and the dove nest (cuz I think it’s kinda cute) and I turned around at one point and the papa(?) was standing on a post right behind my head. Glaring at me with a creepy look. Think “The Birds.”
The dove babies (round 2) are big already:


So big, they’ve flown the coop. Here they are, out on their own:






Then they play hard-to-get for maybe 2 seconds:


Then they move closer again, and kiss:


And neck:


And I mean REALLY neck:


And then well, I suppose this is why they call it the birds and the bees:
