Cooing Dove

As we waited at the railway station yesterday we watched a pair of collared doves sorting their nest. The male repeatedly attempted to fly with twigs far too big for him. When he was successful at handing his mate a twig, she'd place it, but then more would fall out. Kept us amused as we waited for the train.

Jacq has now departed- a perfect and generous guest who cooked and cleaned! During her visit she met ten other 365ers; 6 in person and 4 on line and gave a gift to all those we planned to meet ( and a couple for Him!)

We drove 200+ miles, visited at least 5 churches and from our trips I have kept 356 photographs (I may prune more out!)

I have been thinking of you two all week and marveling at all that you have seen and done in such a short time. I know @jacqbb had a marvelous time. I also know it was fabulous to meet her and I can only imagine how much fun it must have been for you.

Love the picture of your dove. And the story. Nice close-up details of the nest and the bird
