A family!

I had posted a picture last week of a dove nested on our balcony. Well, we have a family now, although they’re pretty hard to capture through that frosted glass. If I go out on the enclosed balcony, the mother leaves, and the babies aren’t distinguishable. Earlier I saw her clearly feeding one of them but didn’t have a camera in our bedroom. I grabbed one, but I guess lunchtime was over, so here is the mother dove.

Blue and gold, posted earlier:

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

How frustrating it must be to be so near...and yet so far!

This is wonderful! Love that the new family has the 'privacy' of the frosted glass! A great image.
