Thanks, Carolyn..They all have left the nest..seems kind of strange to go out on the patio and the doves aren't in the hanging basket.. #104140

Wow, nice closeup, Dottie. I admire your patients--I'm lucky to last 3 minutes waiting for a photo. #104147

Thanks, Murry, I did get kind of tired sitting there for 3 years and my legs were a little cramped when I finally got up...!!!! #104151

Wow, great shot! How'd you get so close without dire consequences to your health? Well worth the wait, I'll bet. #104247

Jean, Thanks for the comment..As soon as I put the hanging basket up this spring it was occupied. I set up my ladder and everytime I walked by the basket I would move in a little closer. I guess they just got used to me hanging around with my camera. #104259
