White on blue

.
Blue and white--Israel's colors (like on the flag and in the tallit prayer shawl).
White doves and a blue sky.

Remember the baby bird from last Saturday's post?
These are the baby's parents and the adults who live in my neighbor's dovecot.
Enlarge the photo and you'll see the feathers on their legs, covering their feet.
.
Happy SkyWatch Friday to all the sky-posters.

  16. Dina, the Saint Michael's Abbey was begun in the late 10th century for the Benedictine monks on the Via Francigena (the pilgrimage route to Rome), it became an important study centre and was enlarged many times until 1622. Now it's in the hand of the Rosminian fathers and in 1990 there has been a great work of restoration.
