Good news....

.... yes indeed!

It happens that Qing and I are expecting an addition soon.

Actually this is now the sixth generation of a wonderful thing happening in our backyard. It started (or I have first noticed it) in Spring of 2008. A pair of Doves made their home in one of our Tree's and ever since then.. it is a yearly thing as one generation to the next uses this very same Nest. This Spring is no different, except it is not in the Tree (because I had to cut it down for the Solar Panels) as before. It is now located within our Arch covered with Red Grapes. It is amazing how they pick and choose a location for their new Nest. This location is somewhat lower, this of course makes it much easier for me to Spy upon it. So, I took this opportunity to get a little close and take this Photo. No need to mention that I was watched by a nervous Mom/Dad nearby. I do/can actually get pretty close to them before it gets them too scared and fly off.

Makes me also think, are Doves not associated with Peace, something I can say.. Qing and I really enjoy a very loving and peaceful marriage together. To think, that they took up residence the same year Qing and I got married? Coincidence or maybe not?

... a few more Phot's!

... as one can see, we have actually our own "Poppy Reserve" in our backyard. They just multiply all by themselves and start taking over the yard (where I want them that is).. too beautiful.

Spring is here.. ones more!

First I want to say sorry that it has been so long since my last Post.
I just did not find much time, while Qing is attending Medical College til the end of this year. Taking about that, I am so proud of my LaoPo for being a second language Student.. she passes all her tests with no less then (get this) 98%. Her homework is a cool 100% every day. Amazing!!!

Anyway, I resently looked at our backyard and I was over-taken by how it changed so quickly. I know spring is here, but Boy.. it looks just beautiful out there. I took some photo's I'd like to share with my readers while I had the chance. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do?
