as soon as the pond is up and running, it seems the number of birds in the garden
doubles! the sound of running water is a lure …
and while we've had lots of different birds visiting lately, these 2 were very unexpected...
and what a wonderful surprise they were!
they were very hungry...
I was making tea when they were spotted out the kitchen window and stopped everything to
grab the camera, then iPad, then cell phone not knowing which one would take the best photo.
I wasn't even sure any of them would turn out as I sat on the kitchen window sill and tried to capture them between the branches of the lilac. What an adorable couple they were.

two are halves of one"

they were very hungry and pulled at the grass as they ate the fallen bird seed from the feeder above.
and then … the lure of the pond :-D
and off they waddled.
It was adorable to watch as they both did a nose dive into the pond and swam about enjoying the afternoon and adding a lot of joy to ours!

in another life,
we should meet
in air,
me and you"
