Cool how you were able to lighten the background to see the birds better. I have had am empty nest for awhile now, and I still miss my kids so much. Especially since both live out of state. That empty nest syndrome does not go away fast as all. Not for me anyway.Neabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311437927263063301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272818233395892141.post-80380417178999743522009-05-12T20:47:00.000-07:002009-05-12T20:47:00.000-07:00don't you love watching the whole experience? we ...don't you love watching the whole experience? we have hummers. and finches. so fun! love your photos!!jkjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272818233395892141.post-89487878143505751882009-05-12T17:17:00.000-07:002009-05-12T17:17:00.000-07:00Now Laura, you know this empty nest thing has been...Now Laura, you know this empty nest thing has been a real problem for me lately and you had to go and do a post like this. You could have taken it in any direction but you chose the empty nest route... Now you know the doves only lay two eggs, sit on them for weeks, feed them for about two minutes and then kick them out with no more than a "peck" on the cheek, never to see them again. These parents are mated for life and probably high"tail" it off to the Cayman Islands without a second thought of those chickadees! No empty nest syndrome for them! They are tough~like I am going to be this Fall! ;-)<br /><br />Seriously, I am in awe of your birdwatching and photography skills and will have a great time visiting this summer! :-D<br /><br />xoxo<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272818233395892141.post-51945199018711033312009-05-12T16:33:00.000-07:002009-05-12T16:33:00.000-07:00Yes, the parallels are obvious!
