The theme this week, for TNChick's PhotoHunt, is
Aftermath.
The word has several meanings, but I've chosen to illustrate an individual definition - the consequence or result of an action.
These two collared doves were seen two days ago, mating on the roof of our bird table. The early aftermath appears to be fluffed-up togetherness. No doubt the later aftermath will be a nest-full of eggs. They look very pleased with themselves!

Beautiful shot and great idea for the theme.
Mmm. The birds and the bees without the bees.
Happy weekend Dragonstar.
Teeheehee re the suggestive anthropomorphizing going on! ;b
Oh, and would you will be having several baby birds after a few weeks, in time for spring?
Cooo...
How sweet!!! This is my first Photo Hunt visit for the day and it's so perfect.
Mine's posted. Aftermath of after math.
Aw - their basking in the afterglow. :>) Great photo!
Here's mine.
Delighful interpretation & photo.
Haha, nice one on the theme. I was thinking along the same line but I don't have any picture for it. :D
And they're mates for life...I always find that's my thought when I see doves together. Very nice!
That's a nice take on this week's theme - great shot. Those collared doves don't have make a racket, though, with that shrill 'eeeeeeeeee' noise they emit. I've hopped back aboard the PhotoHunt bus this week. Have a lovely weekend!
I love this one!" Fluffed up togetherness does appeal to me. :)
Great contribution to the theme. We had a pair of Mourning Doves nesting in the trees in our backyard until a hawk paid a visit last evening. Now there's only one dove left.
Speaking of Mother Nature, my contribution shows the aftermath of a weather event in the Caribbean.
That's a very cute take on the theme! It did not inspire me at all, all I could associate with aftermath were ugly and messy destruction scenes. Fortunately there are other meanings for aftermath as well . Like yours!
This is a cute entry hhheh happy weekend. TC
Hello Dragonstar,
Happy New Year !
I'm now back to blogging ( I took a week's break) and am back on the blogs.
What a great shot of those doves :)
I just love birds.
To start 2009, I have something for you on my blog.
Enjoy !
Lol... they do look pleased... great take!
LOL great idea for aftermath. Do keep us informed...!
I have never seen a baby collared dove was my first thought on reading this. Now I will be on the hunt. Not part of this neme(too many) but I do lurk on the images and interpretations of which this is a good one.
Adorable photo Dragonstar.
Glad we've cleared that up.
They do look rather pleased with themselves :-)
Hi! I loved your take on this weeks theme for the Photo Hunt! 've never been here to your blog, I found you through a comment book...My hunt is up, please come and visit when you can!
ahaha they are enjoying themselves, they have nice ash color! Happy PH!
these two are so pretty.
Just the other day a dove was sitting on my stoop waiting for me and wouldn't budge until I put the key in my door.
Nice shot. At first I thought your aftermath would be something to do with the white stuff. Glad to see it wasn't, although I believe that stuff would be considered aftermath as well! ;)
Ahhh, young love, lol. We get a pair of doves visiting us often. Great choice for this theme.
Have a great weekend!
Gorgeous doves. :)
Hope your weekend is going well. :)

Looks like there will be plenty of squabs soon! Happy weekend
A couple of years ago I noticed to young Doves in my Laburnum tree...
The nest was like a little shelf of twig's...
Lovely photo...
