All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

We have a nice cool day today after some really hot days. The babies were all cuddled up and staying warm.

Here's some colour to make up for the sad flowers in the dove planter box.

Thank you, I'm glad people are enjoying them :)

I have to enjoy the little time I have with the family of doves because the babies go from eggs to flying in just over a months time. The parents are usually cautious when I first go outside but become much more lively when eating or playing music. They have such a calm, curious and caring nature about them.

I try my best to keep a garden that will attract lots of bugs, from the soil to the flowers and plants. Without them I wouldn't have the food I want to grow. Lots of shiny beetles, dragonflies and crazy looking flies have been showing up lately :)
