Rock Dove, alias Pigeon

28 Feb 2012 213
Finally, I got a chance to photograph a couple of Rock Doves when I was on a walk with friends at Carburn Park yesterday. The last few years, I've wanted to get closer, as they are beautiful birds, even if not very popular with many people. So, I was happy that two Pigeons perched on the railing of the bridge over the Bow River and I was able to capture their beauty. Everyone got a note yesterday, informing us that window-replacement is now starting and that we have to move everything away from all the windows within three feet and remove all blinds/curtains. Yeah, right, I don't think I can even reach them in order to be able to remove them. I noticed that already a couple of new windows are lying against the far, opposite building, so I guess I will be getting a phone call soon to set up which 1-2 days I am available. I think it's eight windows plus my sliding patio door. So, my whole place is going to be in utter chaos (on top of the present mess, ha!). I don't know if the present blinds will fit the new windows and it sounds like they won't put them back, or caulk and paint the new surrounds. To say that I'm not looking forward to all this is the understatement of the year, ha!
