Mama Dove
Recently my son and I were viewing a house he was considering renting and noticed this mother white-winged dove sitting in a nest she made in a citrus tree outside one of the bedroom windows.

Party Crasher
After dinner this evening we had an uninvited guest. He almost went unnoticed, due to his diminutive stature, but when he started to scurry across the lace centerpiece he caught my eye.
