Well, I'm still in my busy time of the year. Interesting though: 2009 so far turns out to bring more work (paid work even!) than 2008. Let's hope the trend continues! (knocks on wood with crossed fingers)
In between work I managed to take two pictures in our garden this late afternoon. The first shows a dove sitting in her... well... nest would be too nice a word for that heap of sticks but I guess it's what doves call nest anyway.
The second one is a leaf with some sprinkles of water on it that were glistening in the evening sun... had to take the zoom lens because I left the normal one inside and by the time it takes to get it the light would have been gone for good: sunset light changes by the minute.

I think that's the first time I've ever actually seen a nest made out of sticks like that as bird nests are usually portrayed. Usually in real life they're more like woven grass bowls. I can't imagine how doves keep those rickety things together, but then they always struck me as really stupid birds, so maybe they don't.
As for doves being stupid birds: Our neighbor had a dove nest in one of his trees once and the eggs kept falling through the stick-nest :) Avian birth control or natural selection at work? You decide ;P
