Giant Birds of Paradise and the Dove

Yesterday we went to lunch with friends at the Belching Beaver Brewery in Vista, and as we walked up to the entrance, we got to walk past a wall covered by giant Birds of Paradise plants, right by the sidewalk.

Then something caught my eye:

There was a dove sitting in her nest, still, just looking at me. I waited a while until she moved her head and I knew she was real.

Now you’ll have to go to the first photograph, enlarge it, and find the dove.

Good luck!

    When I was a child, my parent’s bedroom had a big picture window completely covered in vines. The inside was covered with a heavy curtain, so the dove that built her nest against the window thought she was perfectly hidden. My brothers and I could peek through the curtains and quietly watch as she laid and hatched her eggs, fed her chicks and taught them to fly. She was teaching us something, too!
