I saw him doing this tree times in a row. The first time I was not able to capture.
But knowing this was gone be fun, I quickly grabbed my camera.
On purpose the dove jumped into the water. It was not accidentally that he fell in. It's hilarious to see how he gets to the other side.
He swam with only a few wing-beats through the water to cross.
I really love watching this. I hope you too!
There is one special dove who sometimes wants to swim too!
Today was the day.
He let himself fall into the water and YES!
He swam to the other side of the pond. It's do deep to stand, but he has learned swimming.
Not all doves do that. But this one is very special.
It's a lovely sight.
I had gotten this plant, from a dear friend of mine, for my birthday a few months ago.
Over the weeks I noticed one small bud and then later the bud becoming bigger.
So I wanted to keep an eye on it.
This morning I noticed, it wanted to open!
And when I looked half an hour later, it had opened more!
I decided to stay for a while near the flower, to see it's progression, opening up.
It's fantastic to see that happening within an hour.
This week I remembered, wanted to make a post, forgot it again as the days fly by so quickly.
Today I received a snail-mail card of one of my best friends, who sent me a celebration-card!
Thank you F!
I still remember the IWINGS-First-Flight as yesterday.
Blogging was new, and having an illustrated blog back then...I had not seen them in that time very much.
At that time there were only written blogs. It was really a challenge.
I think it was actually August 6th 2005 that I took my first flying-lesson.
It feels this morning, that autumn has made a little step forward, wanting slowly to take over.
I somehow want to hold on summer. The warm temperatures and the long sunny shiny days I love more.
As well as the bright summer-colors of all the flowers.
Though autumn might have that too, however it slowly wants to fade it all into greys and dulled colors.
I need to fix my eyes on todays beauty.
'Polly finds a berry.'

Polly does not know what to do..he feels so very bored.

Did you know that wood pigeons can swim?
Here is the proof.
I've seen them doing this many times.
First they stir the waters, in order to try to get wet. When hat is not helping enough, they let themselves fall into the water and quickly try to jump out again.
Then they start all over again.
So much fun to watch!
