The Pigeon's Nest

This pigeon has taken up residence in an old flower basket hanging from our lemon tree.  Her mate flies back and forth with bits of grass, but they are having a great time pulling apart the basket lining.

In all the years we've lived here, this is our first bird's nest, and I'm unaccountably pleased that she chose our backyard.  I keep an eye on her from my desk, and keep the dogs far away from the mother-to-be.  In turn she keeps a calm eye on me.

If you know anything about pigeon care, please leave a comment.  Thanks!

Okay, I'm lazy today... these photographs came from my backyard.

When we woke up this morning it was extremely cold (for Southern California), and fleece was the fashion of the day, however this afternoon it's bright and sunny, just as you expect off the coast of San Diego.

I took these pictures to remind myself that although its cold (yes, we had to wear long pants and shoes!), Coronado living is pretty good.
