Doves

Close to the finish of the work on the pond , the birds were getting used to us being out in that side of the yard. It is so dry and hot here and we have two bird baths by the pond that they visit often. It is hard to get this close to doves. I had been sitting at the table resting for a while when this one flew in.

I've been away from the blog for a few days. We've been working out in the heat and the smoke redoing our pond. I don't know why we just had to wait till it it got so hot but we did.

It was looking pretty bad for a while - no water, just a little mud at the bottom. 'Somebody' shot a hole in it trying to get rid of a water moccasin ( no, it wasn't me).
