Family

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

I’m taking a short break from my Sahara gallery to post this (and maybe one other) because I thought this was just too cute! These two birds have been hanging around our lawn all day and don’t seem very afraid of us – maybe the baby doesn’t know to be frightened yet. They just stayed put when Tim walked by on crutches a few feet away.

Those are young doves, and the one on the left may be younger than the one on the right since they do not all hatch at the same time. They are probably waiting to be fed by a parent.
