View from my kitchen window

Photographic Scavenger Hunt - linking up to Ramblings of a Square Peg in a Round Hole.

I'm no photographer but I never go anywhere without my little camera.  She's an Olympus digital baby camera and does a good job for the very amateur Miss Snap Happy. So drum roll please ~ we have here view from my kitchen windows taken on a very cold, wet and windy day.

Below is a bougainvillea plant not far off flowering and home to a pair of spotted doves whom I call Romeo and Juliet.


Yes, the sun did shine randomly throughout the day when I took these photos and this pool is very popular during summer.



Here's the happy couple enjoying some special time in the sun, they are always snuggling up to each other beside the pool when the sun comes out.  They've been living here for two seasons now but I'm yet to see any off-spring.

Thanks Deb for hosting this fantastic photo challenge, see you next week.

  3. Hi Chris, give my love to Romeo and Juliet (my age means I immediately think of the Dire Straits song as opposed to dear old Will). And love to the empathy monster as well...looking forward to seeing what we all come up with next week!

  4. Very pretty pictures. And I just love doves..especially their cooing. They are so shy though...I can never get their picture...they kind of run away and then laboriously take off in the air a bit up to a tree. When I was little, my grandma told me that if you see a dove, it means someone is going to die. (!) I hope she meant white doves..she didn't specify, because i see gray doves all the time :)
    love,andrea

  10. I'm sad to say farewell! I am leaving blogland. I just want to go back to a simpler life for my mind when I didn't go on the computer!

    I cherish your friendship and admire your work. I've quit blogging two other times, so if I come back, I will stop in and let you know.
