Nobody Is Home

It is not much of a shot but there is a story there. It looks like my tenants (Eurasian collared doves living on my garden) played a prank on me. You see, last Friday (on the World Photography Day) I went out onto my south second floor terrace to check upon those magnolia seeds No big change there, not worth documenting. Then I looked a bit up and just in front of me I saw this! A nest placed on a magnolia branch, less than 2 meters from me. Obviously nobody was home. The family moved out, but I can observe them almost every day when the three of them sit at the balustrade of my upper balcony and the parents feed the little one (it is a bit smaller than the adults). Now how come that I didn't spot them earlier when they occupied the nest? How did they disguise? No idea! Do doves laugh? They must have been laughing seeing me so near and not noticing them. ----- Samsung NX10
