The mockingbirds around here love this American Beauty Berry Bush and just live in our backyard the entire time it is producing. It is one plant that survived the drought very well. Next to it I have an Angel Trumpet that hardly bloomed at all because it takes so much water and I just wasn't willing to give it all it needed this year. If the drought continues I might just have to re-place it with something more tolerant - like a blooming cactus!
My Mom lives close by and so we are able to visit each other almost every day. I'm so lucky to be able to do that!
We have lots of doves in our backyard. We did have Inca Doves nesting here but haven't seen them much lately. I think we have the white winged, mourning doves, and ringneck doves mostly. This one is sitting in the garden waiting for me to re-fill the feeder I guess.

You and your mom look so much alike, I guess you hear that all the time. The dove picture is sooo good. And I love those gorgeous berries, I've never seen any like them, they almost look like some kind of grapes.
Such a pretty bush, no wonder the mockingbirds stick around! Beautiful colors! That dove is so sweet! What a nice photo of your and mom. Mother & daughter relationships are strong!! Blessings!
