The Memorial Garden construction at St. Mary and St. Martha Episcopal Church in Buford is perhaps our most rewarding project. We did the design work and serve on the garden team on a volunteer basis, while the construction of the garden was a contracted project for Greenland Landscape & Masonry.
The garden has taken on a life of it's own. It is a place for remembrance and burial of cremated remains of our parishioners, as well as a place for worship, gardening, meditation, and gathering outdoors.
Church cremation gardens will increase in popularity, as people realize there is no better final resting place than among your Church community.
We would like to assist other Churches and religious communities with the design, development, and construction of their cremation gardens.
Design of a Memorial Garden: Guidelines
A memorial garden is different than a monument. A garden should be a place of comfort, remembrance, and community, whereas a monument is an object to look at; a visual reminder. Essential Design Features of a Memorial Garden are:
- An easy walking path leading to and through the garden to accommodate people from all stages of life and all types of footwear.
- Comfortable outdoor seating. Low walls, 16″ to 18″ tall, and benches are ideal.
- Overhead cover. This could be a roofed structure, an open arbor with vines, or trees. Shade is essential, and protection from wind and rain is desirable.
- Garden Plants. Planting should be designed for 4 season beauty. For example, starting from winter to fall a plant list could include: Camellias, Lenten rose, daffodils and tulips, azalea, hydrangea, roses, butterfly bush, Limelight hydrangea, and Japanese maple. A theme of plants from the Bible is popular. Consider incorporating wildlife, such as a butterfly garden, bird baths and houses.
- Activity. Community and friendships are formed through volunteer gardening groups and prayer and study groups held in the garden.
- Additional features are lighting, fountains, fenced boundaries, and structures.

The 'Harrow' homestead and property, just west of Cambooya, has one of the largest holdings on the eastern Darling Downs. It is comprised of 1571 ha (3883 acres) in four separate but adjacent blocks.
Robert Ramsay built Harrow homestead during the 1860's. It is an impressive building constructed mainly of cedar and pine with an arched hallway of polished timber and large rooms. The homestead covers 100 squares and its two verandahs are 42 metres (140 feet) and 18 metres (60 feet) long. The homestead is set on about 4 ha (10 acres) of lawns and gardens.
The history of Harrow is closely linked with that of Eton Vale, of which Harrow was once a part. Robert Ramsay purchased 35,000 acres (some historians say 76,000 acres) of the original Eton Vale Station from Arthur Hodgson, naming the property 'Harrow', after one of the British institutions at which he was educated.
Later, legislation reduced the size of Harrow and the property was sold in 1927.
Harrow was once the centre of a whole village with many outbuildings and workers cottages. There was also a school for the Ramsay children, though the property workers' children were educated at another school at Umbiram.
Cheese was manufactured in a factory on the property for many years, and until the 1940's a large dairy herd was milked by shifts of workers 24 hours a day. The property also carried sheep and a Merino stud until the early 1960's.
'Harrow' is watered by Emu and Hodgson Creeks, and is now used for grain growing and cattle production.
During its history, the ownership of Harrow has changed only six times. Following the Ramsay family's ownership, the property passed to the Lloyd family, then to Taylors, Duffys, Keongs, a partnership of Mr Charles Berg and Mr Bob Crothers, and finally to the current owners, the Carrigan family.

A commercial vehicle policy is a great way to help protect the small business you've worked so hard to grow. This type of auto insurance helps shield your business from a financial loss when one of your company's cars or trucks is involved in an auto accident. You may be required to purchase a commercial auto insurance policy, but it depends on two things: the laws in Arkansas and the type of business you manage or own.
A commercial auto policy isn't meant for everyone, but you could be eligible for one if you use your truck or car to conduct activities related to your job. Here are a few situations in which a commercial policy could be right for you: you use your vehicle to haul (or tow a trailer hauling) tools or equipment related to your business, you transport people for a fee, you have employees that drive company-owned cars, or your vehicles are titled in the name of your business.
Here at Direct Auto, we're committed to meeting the unique needs of your small business. Some companies claim to have cheap policies, but we don't need to make that claim. Our affordable commercial auto insurance policies can be customized to suit the needs of your business, and your budget. With coverages like Bodily and Property Damage Liability, Uninsured Motorist, Medical Payments, Fire and Theft CAC, and more, you'll get the economical coverage options you need when you visit your nearest Direct Auto location.
Call 1-877-GO-DIRECT (1-877-463-4732) today for your fast and free commercial car insurance quote. Or, visit your nearest Direct Auto location in Jacksonville! Our agents are ready to help you understand Arkansas's specific requirements and definitions for commercial vehicle insurance!

Owners deny pig-napping a marketing stunt as hunt for Kevin Bacon continues
On the day Adshel decided to take the hunt for the now world famous Kevin Bacon and Bradley the Lamb to the streets, the owners of the animals have denied the whole event has been a marketing stunt.
Earlier this month, the much-loved resident pets from The Grounds of Alexandria in Sydney, who made international news (see video below) and now enjoy a huge Facebook following, were stolen from their pen.
It was reported that two women and a man were captured on CCTV camera entering the cafe's grounds after midnight on Monday October 6 pinching the animals.
Now outdoor specialists Adshel has joined the search for Kevin Bacon and Bradley the Lamb, launching an out-of-home ad campaign offering a reward in order to bring home the animal celebrities.
Some eyebrows have been raised since the kidnapping as to whether the whole thing has been a marketing stunt by The Grounds to attract attention and more business.
However, when contacted by B&T this morning, general manager Michael Geban, efuted the claims, stating: "The whole thing about The Grounds is that it's a family place. These are our pets, so this was not a publicty stunt in any shape or form."
He added that with the help of Adshel, which approached him to help find the pair, The Grounds is determined to get them back.
"Kevin and Bradley are loved by many of us at Adshel so much so that Alba in our sales team took the cause on and ran with it. I was delighted with the idea as on the occasions I have visited the Grounds, Kevin has been so friendly and fun," said Nicole McInnes, director of marketing at Adshel.
"We believe that taking the search to the streets through strategically placed panels in high profile locations will help to uncover information that will hopefully lead police to the missing animals that have become part of our Sydney community," she added.

Real NC Wedding : NC Vineyard Wedding by Virtue Event Planning & Consulting
This stunning NC Vineyard Wedding by Virtue Event Planning & Consulting looked so beautiful in the pages of our 2014 issue that we just had to share it with you on our blog as well. Josh and Natalie's love story is so beautiful – they were married at the same vineyard that Josh proposed – that it was only fitting that their wedding be just as romantic. Wedding Planner Joye Speight of Virtue Events used her amazing talent and experience to give Josh and Natalie their dream rustic, vintage wedding theme, incorporating perfect details including an awesome vintage truck and adorable dessert bar, and In His Image Photography perfectly captured all of the little things that made this wedding so special. You can read their story from the 2014 issue below – Congratulations Natalie + Josh!
"It was in Junius Lindsay Vineyard when Natalie knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Josh.
After Josh proposed to Natalie on a hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the wedding planning began. Josh and Natalie had gone to Junius Lindsay Vineyard for a wine tasting on their one year anniversary and it was at that time, that Natalie knew in her heart that she would love Josh forever. After, looking at multiple wedding venues in the Triangle, Natalie and Josh decided to go back to the place where it started, Junius Lindsay Vineyard. The lush vineyard contains 11 acres of vines and open land, which was perfect for their vintage, rustic wedding theme.
The color scheme of ivory, sage green, and burlap suited the pastoral landscape, and the vineyard style was reflected in the stationary, programs and menu cards. The ceremony took place in the vineyard where the couples' guests created the aisle for Natalie to walk down to her beloved.
The guest list was made of Josh and Natalie's closest friends and family members, so it only made sense to have a family style reception in the vineyard's tasting room. The tables were dressed with white linens and burlap sashes and adorned with multiple levels of pillar and votive candles. Place cards were inside of corks at each place setting.
The guests enjoyed a 4 course meal prepared by Chef Dion. The bundt cakes were served on large wooden slabs to stay consistent with the rustic theme. Guests had an opportunity to taste the vineyard's award winning wine selection during the reception. After the formalities, guests enjoyed the rest of the evening by singing karaoke and dancing until their departure.
As a surprise, Natalie rented a vintage moxie cooler and ceramic chicken to be displayed as a reminder of the special role that her grandfather played in her life."– WM 2014

From Black to Schwarz
Cultural Crossovers between African America and Germany
Reihe: FORECAAST
Bd. 18, 2010, 392 S., 39.90 EUR, 39.90 CHF, br., ISBN 978-3-643-10109-9
From Black to Schwarz explores the long and varied history of the exchanges between African America and Germany with a particular focus on cultural interplay. Covering a wide range of media of expression - music, performance, film, scholarship, literature, visual arts, reviews - the essays collected in this volume trace and analyze a cultural interaction, collaboration and mutual transformation that began in the eighteenth century, literally boomed during the Harlem Renaissance/Weimar Republic, could not even be liquidated by the Third Reich's `Degenerate Art' campaigns, and, with new media available to further exchanges, is still increasingly empowering and inspiring participants on both sides of the Atlantic.
Prof. Dr. Maria Diedrich holds a Chair in American Studies at the WWUM. Her research focuses on African American literature and culture in a transatlantic context.
Dr. Jürgen Heinrichs teaches art history at Seton Hall University in New Jersey, USA. His research explores the interrelationships between African American and European art and visual culture.

"Our challenge is to show that human beings are truly involved in activities that transcend the restrictions of space, time, and matter, that we do accomplish things that are spiritual, and that therefore we are spiritual as well as material beings."
Msgr. Robert Sokolowski, Soul and the Transcendence of the Human Person.
"The concept of mysticism," the author of Mysticism and Space, Carmel Bendon Davis, warns us "is not straightforward." Consequently, Davis provides the essential meaning of the word in her seminal study: Christian mysticism is the product of pseudo-Denis whose work, Theologia Mystica, perceives mysticism as the secret knowledge of God, a definition pregnant with the possibility of Gnostic distortions. That the author is not derailed because of the Gnostic possibilities indicates that her work is neither eristic nor philodoxical, but rather an example of existential consciousness analyzing the revelatory process.
Further, Davis, in quoting the scholar David Knowles, does the great service of noting that "(M)ystical theology is thus distinguished from what is called natural theology and from dogmatic and speculative theology."
The author has touched upon a dilemma facing Christianity identified by the mystical philosopher, Eric Voegelin, in his essay, The Gospel and Culture,
"In the historical drama of revelation, the Unknown god ultimately becomes the God known through his presence in Christ. This drama, though it has been alive in the consciousness of the New Testament writers, is far from alive in the Christianity of the churches today, for the history of Christianity is characterized by what is commonly called the separation of school theology from mystical or experiential theology which formed an apparently inseparable unit still in the work of Origen."
The challenge confronting the church is not how to adapt various philosophical and theological distortions to orthodoxy but rather to render the epiphany of Jesus Christ as experientially "alive in the consciousness" of modern man. Davis's book is an effort to address this crisis by means of an erudite analysis of the noetic, pneumatic, and spatial components occurring in human time and divine timelessness.
The academic debate encompassing mystical or "meditative" and "contemplative" experience exists in the tension between the poles of the "socially constructed phenomenon," and "the authentic experiences that they represent," where the latter represents a "closed existence" and the former an "open existence" in the question of non-existent realities.
One of Davis's unique contributions is her application of the concept of space, a response to Michel Foucault, that explicates the "multiple levels" of the mystic's "physical and social environment, as well as their individual mystical experiences and the elaboration of those experiences in textual form." Here, in a rather significant example of a pneumatic irruption, Davis applies the French literary device, mise en abime, to the mystical experience as "successive, perhaps concentric, layers of space as analogous to the various strata of experience that are constitutive of mystical space." The mise en abime, reconceptualized by the author to apply to the problem of mystical space, then acts to explicate God as intrinsic to the human psyche, the noetic pull phenomenon experienced in the tension of existence, as well as "the image of God as the container of all humanity..."
The exegetical brilliance of Davis's work incorporates elements of Henri Lefebvre's theory of space including his discussion of social space as inclusive of spatial practice, representations of space, and representational spaces; Pierre Bourdieu's habitus, the unconscious "understanding of the way in which societal structures predispose societal members…toward certain social practices;" Foucault's heterotopias, which are places "outside of all place, even though it might be possible to indicate their location in reality…a sort of simultaneously mythic and real contestation of space in which we live;" and Mikail Bkhtin's grotesque realism which formulates the concept of "the fruitful earth and womb. It is always conceiving," though the author is utilizing the reversal of this theme in reference to the mystical life. All of these concepts, then, are utilized in "decrypting" the texts of three mystics of the fourteenth century: Richard Rolle, the Cloud author, and Julian of Norwich.
The work is further differentiated by penetrating examinations of physical space and cosmology, the "ways in which the mystics valued their society," the textual insights that illustrate God as inherent within the psyche/soul and "the containment of humanity within God," and finally, the "individual mystical spaces" of the three medieval contemplatives.
Mysticism and Space is then a brilliant apologetics for a largely ignored, mystical Christianity richly imbued and bolstered with the primary experiences of the medieval contemplatives. It is a work that answers the deformations inherent in the Hegelian synthesis responsible for the second realities of the postmodern age, explores the nature and structure of the metaleptic event, and successfully recovers the symbols of the tension of existence that are translucent within the reality experienced in the drama of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In the epilogue, the author tells her readers that "the texts point beyond time and history to an experience that is beyond material containment," which correlates with Voegelin's comment in his essay, Immortality, that "Man, while existing in time, experiences himself as participating in the timeless." Davis's contribution is her remarkable exegesis of the nature and effects of spatiality within the metaleptic event, where being exists in existential philia, and where "the openness of existence is raised to consciousness."
Mysticism and Space is a remarkably illuminating book that illustrates the need for the Christian church to return to an existential theology that recognizes "the mystery of divine presence in existence."

Molly Ground Nesting 2013
This is the second time we have had a morning dove sitting to nest on the ground around our front porch.
It's been a few years in between, but I think it's Molly again. The last time I worried and would talk to her to say her housing choice was not the best.
While we were away on work trips we ask neighbors to just keep an eye and drop some food in the area.
Honestly the babies waited for us to get back before Molly let them fly off from the nest. It was quite something. They did come back by later in the spring too.
Now this time she is under our weeping cherry sitting on two quarter size whitish eggs where I found her as I bent in to weed. She just scooted over a little and when I backed out she went back to sit on the eggs.
We just hope we have the same outcome as last time since we leave tomorrow for a work trip and will not be back until Thursday.
It is possible she started in the weeping cherry in a nest this time and the nest didn't hold, but it's so thick we can't see in there.
My husband said the father will bring food, but how likely is she possibly a single mother?
It's cold and rainy today and we hate to leave her there chilly on the ground sitting on the two eggs. Hope she is here on our return.

Dove Incubating On Electric Pole
It was in the early October that I found two Doves were sitting on my window. When I would go near them they would fly.
This continued for many days but after some days, they remained sitting on the window even being aware of my presence there.
Perhaps they were coming there to survey as they had to build a nest. So they seemed to be searching for the right place for it.
After some days, I found them building a nest on the electricity pole in front of my window.
One Dove was fetching weeds and sticks and gave it to other dove which was trying to weave them to build the nest.
Next day, the Dove laid an egg, but their nest was not completed, so the egg slipped to the other side of the pole and was broken.
Two months later, in January, they again came there to build a nest and this time, they used nylon string (china string used for flying kites) as main ingredient and some sticks and small grasses.
The nest was perfectly built and the next day the female laid an egg. The second day, another egg was laid. They began incubation at that time.
After 14 days, I found two young ones (squabs) sleeping on the nest. The Dove was sitting on it. I also saw how carefully it was sitting on the squabs, it was feeding them by its beak.
I have pics and videos where you can see that when one Dove comes, the other Dove which is sitting on nest flies away.
They both exchange their places around 10:00 IST and 16:00 IST hours.

We live on the 19th floor birds never fly in. One day my roommate and I were talking and I see this BEAUTIFUL white dove.
Amazed we just watched him thru the window. He kept coming back everyday. He would follow me from balcony to balcony.
One day I was in the kitchen cooking I could see him and started recording him he flew right up to me he started cooing I was hooked.
I stared putting pictures of him on Facebook and asked my friends what should I name him. Angel is his name.
I work strange hours in retail and was not home much for the holidays but he always comes. I do feed him and give him freshwater but I was at another condo in our building and he came looking for me he heard my voice.
I went back to the 19th floor and watched him going everywhere looking for me as soon as he finds me he starts to coo.
He looks at me like where the hell have you been. I'm afraid the condo association will become upset with him making a mess, I don't know what to do. I love Angel

We could hear these doves for days it seemed but couldn't see anything. Then Penelope D. Drinxwell got involved.
She's my 5 yr old black "classic tuxedo" indoor cat.
We could see her take sudden and extreme interest right outside the living room window. The smallish evergreen in the corner surrounded by our window frame/wall and front door entrance) was obviously the new digs for The Dove Family.
Once, one of them actually had the nerve to sit right on the window ledge (resting during the home-building process no doubt) with nothing to separate Penny and their innocent little heads but 1/16" of window screen mesh.
Penny licked her chops, crouched low, even made envious low hissing sounds to alert us to the intruder right outside the house. She pawed the screen lightly with a few taps but that was all.
In a few days she accepted that the Dove Family was here to stay or at least until the kids were born and ready to go off to college! According to my calculations, the babies will appear around 5/15.... and by June---off to school.
As I go out to retrieve the mail, I can easily see right into their doorway ( a naturally-opened space between branches, perfect for entrance and exits; big enough for any pizza delivery too)
I see the father perched on the nest during the day, with no more coo-ing. Their condo's built, the eggs are laid, now they just need to keep quiet and incubate them.
He doesn't move an inch as I walk by to get the mail, he looks like a Bird's Eye Frozen Food package. Sometimes he actually reads the paper.
Hoping to grab a pic of the babies as soon as they crack open, but without bothering the parents or giving Penny a heart attack. I've already named one of the two kids: Shindig O'Pasta ( don't ask!)....
anyway, here's Penny first, soon I'll show the kids.

I went outside this morning to have some coffee and noticed this little nest so cute got a stool and took a picture after I found the two eggs in it.
After a little bit I went in and then came back out and found the mama just sitting there so still and quiet.
Put some bird food out there so it will feel more comfortable.
I've never seen a dove out back or even around my house so I am so excited and hoping to get to witness some babies being hatched.
The nest happens to be sitting on top of a ceramic candle holder that's right by my back door so guess the holder is out of order for now haha.. and having some babies soon.

I have lived in Racine Wisconsin for almost four years now but have never had the pleasure of a close encounter with such an amazing beautiful creature as the Mornning Dove.
I was blessed to have that encounter today! I have seen Mourning Doves fly through our apartment complex quite often and have had the pleasure of hearing their call too.
However, I've never had the pleasure to view one up close as you will see from the picture I took on May 7, 2012.
As Spring has given us the pleasure of such birds as the Cardinal, Mourning Doves, and quite thick Robins, I noticed one Mourning Dove liked to perch itself on our bicycle handle parked on our patio.
It came back quite often and seemed to like perching itself there.
We have a big bush in front of the bicycle where I noticed it also liked to ruffle it's feathers in.
As Spring progressed, the more I started seeing this lovely creature. Everyday she would come back and perch itself on that bike handle.
Today, I had come back from taking a stroll. As I was walking closer to our patio I noticed her sitting on the bike handles pretty as a picture! I walked ever so slowly closer to the bird and even told it how beautiful it was.
It just perched there as if it knew what I was saying and returning the favor by letting me admire its beauty.
I wondered if I could walk slowly into the house and have enough time to grab my camera. So I did, and the dove never even flinched an inch as I got six amazing photos from only a foot away from it!
It was an amazing experience, one I will never forget. It was like looking at the hand of God himself.
I thought maybe since I was so close to it, she would let me touch it's feathers but she didn't and flew to our apple tree.
Needless to say, I picked the best one and placed it on my desktop to admire every day as I start my computer.

Momma and baby
This year is the beginning of my birdwatching journey and I have been trying to create a bird haven in my backyard.
I have purchased a few feeders and birdbaths and have planted vegetation to entice them to spend time in my area. My husband even bought me a Oklahoma bird guide book.
I have been having a great time trying to identify all the different birds I see and what their habits are.
A few weeks ago I walked out my front door and was admiring the new blooms on my Crepe Mrytle tree.(Yes, I know they are usually shrubs, but ours was pruned to grow into a tree of approximately 14 feet tall) I looked up, and to my surprise, there was a mourning dove perched in a nest.
I called my hubby out to look at it. He was amazed that it had made a nest so close to the front door.
The nest looked so flimsy that I was nervous that a good Oklahoma wind would blow it right out of the branches. This peaked my curiosity so onto the internet I went.
So much information.....I found out that they only lay two eggs in a brood and the young leaves the nest after 12-14 days. WOW!! Seems like such a short time with mom and dad.
The male sits on the nest during the day and the female trades out for the night shift. Way to go Dad:)
We have been watching the nest for the last 10 days. Today when I walked outside there was evidence of birds overhead by way of bird droppings all over the sidewalk below the nest.
I looked up and there they were, the adult and the two babies. I worried that maybe they might get spooked as I swept off the walk but they never flinched.
The nest is only about eight feet off the ground. I decided to push my luck. Since the nest was above my head, I pulled a patio chair over closer to get a better look. They were too cute to pass up a picture.
I was able to get about three feet away from them and they never moved. Above is a picture I took with my phone.

Four Dove in the Nest
Starting in March 2012, my husband and I were thrilled to become part of a strange and wonderful new world.
Mourning Doves built a nest in our carport directly across from our kitchen window. We had no idea how much we would learn from them and what great companions they would be.
After six successful little families (12 babies) were launched into the world we were very hopeful that they would come back in March 2013.
We were thrilled to see a new couple take over the old nest. The parents nurtured two little baby Doves to maturity and spent two days trying to launch them into the world.
The hysterical problem with this little twosome was – they wouldn't leave the nest. They looked through our kitchen window and sat on our porch and posed for pictures, but they would not fly away.
As is typical, we immediately had a new couple nesting. The unexpected problem they had is the two "old" babies wouldn't get out of the nest.
The new father-to-be spent the day keeping the two old babies at bay. He finally gave up and the new, nesting Mom snuggled with two large baby birds in the nest with her.
In fact, all four of them sat on the nest until the "old babies" finally took flight.
The result was the birth of one, not two, baby doves. The unhatched egg sat precariously on the nest until the new baby flew away.
Our nest is always full during mating season. We feed them sunflower seeds in a feeder on the ground and we have doves all the time.

Baby Doves
I started noticing twigs all over in a corner above our front door. I kept sweeping them away only to discover more the next day.
Why I looked up I don't know, but there sat a beautiful dove. So my husband and I started watching. Checked out the internet on their habits. Watched for the babies. Low and behold one day I noticed a couple of little heads.
Soon they started getting larger until one day I just stood there and one flew away. I was saddened to think the one was left by itself, not for long. Probably the next day the other flew off.
So before long, here they came again. Going through the same ritual. Today 2 little doves are getting ready to fly away. I am not a bird watcher but this has been a beautiful experience.

A Little Dove in a planter again...
I posted some pictures on this site and stories, LAST year! (I have Doves in a hanging Planter Too)
I thought I didn't want more doves on my porch, because last year I had TWO sets of babies born, and the planter was a different one, which was in the corner of my porch.
I sure had a LOT of seed-looking little black baby bird dew to sweep up that Fall, when I finally cleaned the porch! But then again, I missed coming out, seeing the baby birds growing up, and watching the mom and dad take turns and come and go :)
So this year, I got another smaller planter, and put just a few artificial flowers around the edge, and hung in towards the front of the porch, still under an eave so they would stay dry.
Sure enough, I noticed a bird flying away every time I opened the front door, and a nest slowly coming in there on top of the hanging moss, which was inside.
After a while, when you open the door, since it IS farther away from the door, she just calmly sits! It will be easier to clean up there as well.
I am attaching a photo of the little young dove in the nest. It's really sunny out today, so she looks like she's in the shade a lot, but she isn't.
I hope I get to see the little babies. I might have to be moving this summer, the house that I live in is owned by family, and we have all struggled to hold onto it, even after a couple of us lost jobs and some of us who couldn't find another.
We even got on a government plan to "save your house"...but it was too little, too late.
I will miss this house if we have to leave, so this is kind of bittersweet, watching a little dove bring some new life into this world, while we might be leaving this life we have known for nine years now.
Wish us all luck, and we appreciate your prayers too--for the dove family, and for ours! Thanks!! MM

Dove Nesting On Window Sill
Every morning, I awake to the loud noises of my neighbor. Often it is nice to hear, but at seven in the morning it can also be described as annoying.
Annually, I share a window in my room with a dove couple and their hatchlings. Because I have no screen in my window, I suppose it is seen as an ideal nesting place.
Yesterday, I had two doves "move into" my window. They both have carried twigs to loosely make a nest.
My window is about five feet from the ground and has a decent amount of space.
Currently, I'm listening to the territorial calls of the male dove: cooOO-coo-coo-coo. I absolutely love it. Although its very mournful, there's something oddly peaceful about it. Occasionally, I hear their feet clatter about the metal of my window.
I do my best not to disturb them; only going into my room when necessary. Though, I quietly observe them through my partially closed blinds.
Each year, I see at least two white eggs. Last year, I had two pairs of doves inhabit the same nest in my window; one in the spring and one in the early summer.
It is very much a treat to see the baby birds newly hatched, though I have, unfortunately, never seen a egg hatch yet.
This year, I am considering scattering some bird seed nearby the nesting area on the ground.
Knowing I can provide shelter to such a lovely creature fills me with excitement and curiosity. I do what I can to help these birds successfully raise their hatchlings without trouble.
Each year, I look forward to seeing a new neighbor.
I'm Kyla O. and that's my story

The babies that survived!
Last summer doves visited my plant stand, laid their two eggs that never hatched. This year they are back and just had a successful clutch of two birds that hatched, survived and flew away! I felt like a proud caretaker.
Last year the parents didn't lay on the eggs 100% of the time, I noticed a big difference this year with the successful babies, the parents were on the eggs most of the time.
This week, only a few days (4-6) after the babies left, the next brood is on its way. I noticed the doves building the nest again earlier today and this evening the first egg was laid.
Pretty exciting to be hosting my own little dove sanctuary!

Hi I don't know much about doves just think it's crazy where this dove decided to make her nest. One day I saw her building it on my patio shelf where I usually keep my outside gardening stuff.
She left and didn't see her come back until one day I walked out I saw two doves sitting there. I laughed and said, so they got caught huh?
Both doves just looked at me I said, so this is where the action took place. I said to the doves because I had 2 pillows laying on top of a shelf where they were sitting. Sure enough, she stayed there and has been there waiting on her arrival.
So I googled about doves to learn what they eat and there habits. That's how I found this website. Thought I'd share my thoughts.
Thanks, Jenny

We have lived in the Hi Desert of southern California for just over 3 years surrounded by quail, mourning doves, roadrunners, hummingbirds and a wide variety of other wildlife.
The first couple of years we lived here, we fed all of them until the pigeons started joining in. When we reached 65 pigeons, we stopped feeding but provide fresh water at least twice daily, more often as needed.
For the last several weeks, the mourning doves have begun congregating by our pool, far away from their other water sources and former feeding area.
We put a green concrete bird bath in the area which they all loved. As more doves arrived, we added a second birdbath which is identical to the first one except it is brown instead of green. We have to use concrete because of wind.
The doves do not use the brown birdbath. No matter how many there are, up to dozens, they only use the green one. We bought both of them at the same time from the same vendor and have cleaned them both in the same manner since we have had them.
Yesterday we switched the tops (see photo) to see if it made any difference. They still prefer the green bowl. Several are just staring at the bowls now while looking very confused. I guess we should switch them back?

We work on oil well site in Huntington Beach, Ca We have Palm Trees here and the morning Doves were nesting in them.
One has taking a liking to humans and hangs with all of us every day. She will fly in the office, when the door is open, and hang on your desk or your head for awhile.
She will follow all of us employees around the yard and make your day a lot brighter because she is in it. We all here have adopted her and she us, we feed her now and watch over her.
It has been amazing how a little bird can brighten up my day like nothing else. I enjoy her welcoming me and the other employees at work with her sitting on our chair, or head, or computer or the like.
The pictures I have attached is of Birdie that we all call her on my head and one on my computer.

It's nice we can watch them from our dining room window, the wall is about 5 feet from the house on the North side. The nest gets the morning sun from the East.
I was wondering because March 13 was the last day I had seen 2 birds, reading "Morning Dove Habits" was very helpful. Thanks

This is our first year with Mourning Doves. They built a nest in an artificial tree that we light with white lights to give a festive appearance to our back deck. However, since they have been out here, we haven't been able to use our deck as they panic and fly away whenever we go out there.
Mom and Dad Dove have had two rounds of hatchlings so far this year. The first nest had two eggs. One afternoon, I was outdoors and returned home when the winds began blowing heavily. I looked out to the deck and saw that the dove tree had blown over in the wind.
I immediately reached out (without touching the nest) and stood it upright and secured it with chairs to hold it firmly. Sadly, one of the eggs had fallen out of the nest onto the floor of the deck and cracked. :( The other hatchling was okay.
After several weeks, mom and dad took off for several days. I kept an eye on the baby and it seemed to be motionless. Around the third day alone, the baby hatchling was gone. Not sure if it had flown or taken by a hawk. We have a lot of birds out here.
Mom and Dad got busy quickly after the baby was gone. They were literally making out on my back porch, literally kissing for hours. Next thing we knew, mom was back to nesting again. Soon after, two eggs appeared and now the second set of babies are in the nest. Mom and dad take turns watching over the nest. They are amazing to watch.

Hess Quotes
You see on the tape that they (the defendants) are celebrating. They are mugging for the camera and making crude comments. They're dancing around. They know that she's unresponsive, they know that she's unconscious. They're deciding what to do next. They're competing with each other to see who can do the worst things to her. - Dan Hess

We've been pretty busy in the past few weeks working on a few projects, but we always like to take the time to give back to the design community. That's why GemGfx builds these FREE Mockups. I was taught, that in life you should always give back and find a way to help others in any way that you can. This time around you guys have taken us to 16,000 Facebook Likes. To us that's amazing and we'd like to say a huge thanks and give something back to you.
On this occasion we've got another really cool giveaway. Some customizable roll up banners. As usual it's high res. Actual size 3800px x 2500 px. It's layered, and the banners can be edited via the useful smart object. Download and enjoy.
This is an entirely FREE, Hi-Res, PSD, Realistic Customizable Roll Up Banner Mock Up. It is available for both commercial and personal use. Selling of this file or modifying it for selling purposes is strictly prohibited. This includes requesting that people pay to download, or pay to download it faster. (This does not apply to the work the file is used to present, but the file itself). It is a layered PSD file, and the artwork is easily edited via smart objects.
Our purpose at GemGfx for making this a free download, is so that we might be able to help other designers, advertisers and creatives to layout and present their work to their clients in a professional way.
