Not sure when they hatched, but I know there is at least one very hungry baby! It is hard to tell whether there are two or just one but this pic is of Daddy feeding the chick. Apparently both the mom and dad feed the baby a milky substance that they produce in their crops. Daddy really doesn't like it when I get near the window so I am giving him a little bit of space. Hopefully as the chick(s?) get bigger, they will be easier to see.
I am learning how to use my new camera today. I was taking pics of the flowers when I discovered what had been munching on them...baby grasshoppers!! Hopefully they hop away before eating too many of my lovely blooms!
There have been a pair of doves feeding in our yard for some time now. Last weekend I noticed they seemed to be looking for a nest..landing in the hanging baskets on the patio.....Well, on Monday they picked the one right by my kitchen window to build their nest. There was one egg on Thursday and today when she left the nest, there was a second one. I have done some research now and we have 12/14 days to wait for the babies. I need to get more pics of the parents so I can figure out who is who...they take turns sitting on the nest and taking care of the hatchlings when they arrive.
Juliet and I had a great time at idol. They put us in the "mosh pit" at the edge of the stage. within touching reach of the judges when they walked by and Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas stood by us for awhile.....can I say that Cameron is so beautiful IRL......wow!!! We then got moved into some seats behind the judges...then back to the pit for awhile when the bottom 3 were announced and then up to some seats....we were so close for everything, never higher than second row...really a lot of fun!!! If the full sized video doesn't show up, double click on it and it should open in Youtube....(we are on from 1:23 through 1:50...Juliet is just behind Randy)
Oh...and they prefilmed Lady Gaga...she was amazing...even if you don't like her style...the number was pretty neat with an interesting set ... she looked great and lots of cute male dancers. She was not a diva at all...talked to everyone on stage nicely (it seemed) and talked to the audience, etc....it will be on in 2 weeks...the set was so big it took a long time to set up.
We are on Spring Break this week and the girls were looking for something to do. We decided to go on a photo shoot. We got some really nice pics of the girls together and lots of individuals. Plus a lot of "just for fun" shots....top model style.
