I received several wedding invitations over the past few months. In particular, October 10, 2010 was a very hot date: 10-10-10! My sincere congratulations to those who tie the knots recently or will be doing so over the next few months. As the saying goes,
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!" - Eccl 4:9-10 (NIV)
I would like to use some recent photos I took on birds to depict the various stages of romance & courtship. Enjoy!
(1): The story begins with the lonely single, "where are you, my beloved?"
(2) "Here I am, the one that you have been waiting!"
(3) The fun days: courtship & romance; playing and dancing .
(4) The Day: "my beloved is mine and I am his; the banner over us is love!"
(5) The real work begins: "I am watching you... I have high expectations; don't you dissappoint me... & come home early" 
(6) The friction starts: "...there, I told you so... why can't you just do what I say?... You never listen to me... You don't love me anymore..." 
(7) The cold war: "I am not talking to you anymore..."
(8) Reconciliation: A Happy Family
