The tiny Inca Dove (Columbina Inca) is covered in tan scaly-looking feathers that blend right in with its habitat. That is, until it bursts into flight, making a dry rattling whir with its wings while flashing chestnut underwings and white in its tail. Inca Doves, like other doves, feed their young dove milk or crop milk. Both males and females produce this substance in their crops (the pouch just above the stomach that birds use to store food). The walls of the crop swell until it produces a nutritious, milky-colored secretion. Despite its appearance, it’s not related to the milk produced by mammals. The Inca dove does not tolerate seriously cold temperatures. When the temperature drops to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, these southern doves get cold. They huddle together to stay warm. Sometimes they even sit on top of each other, forming a dove pyramid up to 3 doves high—a behavior called pyramid roosting. Inca doves are common throughout their range, and U.S. populations have increased according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey. Inca Doves appear well-adapted to humans and have expanded north in recent years. In the Southwestern U.S., Inca Doves frequently visit ground and platform feeders.

There is a tiny forest at my home.
It is getting colder and colder, and leaves are changing their colors:)
Soon, the winter will come.

お部屋に小さな森があります。
寒くなってきて木々の葉も色を変えてきました。ちょっとさみしい季節ですが綺麗で好きです＾＾
もうすぐ冬がやってきますね……＞＜
Tiny Bush Katydid. This was taken with macro lens on a 25mm extension tube so the image is considerably larger than life-size.

Yesterday I showed my class how to draw white and almost white flowers on white paper with coloured pencil. Here's the result of that demonstration: a very tiny (the flower was maybe 2 cm wide) rose with a hint of pink.
Worthwhile to View On Black with this one for detail.

My dad got a new puppy! Her name is Buca. She's a Samoyed, my favorite kind of dog in the whole world! She's the 3rd Sammy that we've had since I've been born. She's so very tiny & just like a little fluffy cloud!

We were very lucky indeed with our trip with Andrew.
Not only did we have our first view of the red sun ray at Tao Yuan's sunset, we also saw this tiny piece of rainbow reflected in the sky. I don't know what is it called, but it's pretty interesting to us city folks :p
Update: I finally found out that it is called a Sun Dog (scientific name parhelion ):
A tiny door in the base of the Freedom Parkway overpass at the BeltLine. Tiny Doors is a local art project directed by Karen Anderson (www.tinydoorsatl.com).
I was struggling with roughing in a pair of walking feet on the pavement at right to give a sense of scale, when just in time a trio of little girls delightedly discovered the door. The leftmost girl was exactly what was needed to make the sketch.
When I started the sketch I was invisible. Somebody even parked their bike for a while between me and the door. (Luckily it is easy to see through bicycle wheels.) But when the paints come out and color goes on, people notice me. The purpose of the door is for people to discover and interact with it. A sketcher sitting on the ground becomes a piece of the dynamic experience.

A new life is born, so tiny and fragile. It is a beginning of a new chapter for both the Father and little Sandra. I would like to see little Sandra grow up to be a fine lady.
