I've been watching the fire news on various internett sources. Takes me back to some really frightening nights in my youth, with Dad and brother out volunteering and all our photos, paintings, one suitcase each and the portable instruments packed in the hallway in case of evacuation. I hope those brave firefighters get control over it soon, and safely!

sorry to hear about the fire hope all is OK now.

thanks for this super closeup for this beautiful dove, not sure if the ones we get here the same but our collared ones have very distinctive calls, just like blowing on a horn.
