When Lovers Meet

Two tiny birds flirt on the edge 
of a stone bird-bath - they dip and drink in unison
A flower floats - his love offering.

This is so sweet SuZ. I can believe this actually happens. I know they give food to each other. I loved this little gem! 7 ; )

It's a warm and cute image, Suzanne. Even the birds give flowers for the ones they love ... glad to see things are moving for you. I hope you get settled in soon, so you can begin the next chapter in your life!
