Every Spring, the highest part of my patio fence becomes a prime dating scene in the mourning dove world. This pair has been meeting here daily for a little while, and doing all the courtship dance and preening and chatting and mating.
Their nest is elsewhere, I think, since they take off over the roof eventually. They're good neighbors as nesting goes, usually very quiet and calm, and having two eggs, from which two quiet babies hatch, and they don't panic if you look in gently.
And the lilac is blooming madly next door, filling my whole house with scent.
News, views, art, food, books and other stuff, with the occasional assist of character dolls. This now incorporates my art blog, which you can still read up to when I blended them, at https://beautifulmetaphor.blogspot.com.

That lilac look lovely! Maybe the perfume of it is helping to inspire the mating. ;)
