Lilly : Did you remember to take a photo for the AM3 'Life Happening' theme ?
Ronnie : No. Took your big note and a book and then clean forgot. Sorry.
Lilly : Oh, well, I see Life Happened anyway - lucky you had the pigeon instructions with you, Ronnie.

You know your way with snails and pigeons Ronnie! Must have been a hard job for them bringing Lilly's book all the way to you ;)

@Lewis: Just when I thought Life could not get more confusing . . (Left-Ronnie-Right)
Doug from Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom
Superb image for the theme, but where's the article on the "feral Ronnie", cos the pigeons look too friendly to be wild !
7 May 2012 7:38am
@Doug: Admittedly, the pigeons do find me a touch lacking in cultivation . . and have said so. (Ronnie)
Stephen from Canberra, Australia
Terrific Life Happening theme.
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." (John Lennon)

@Stephen: Yes, that is a lovely quote from John - and so desperately true ! Thanks, Stephen. (Ronnie)
PRASHANT from Mumbai, India
Great moment...you break rules of your style of image....I guess this is single image.
7 May 2012 8:28am
@PRASHANT: We each contribute more than an image . . the image is the part you see ! (Ronnie)
Tamara from Aarschot, Belgium
Very nice and original contribution to the Life Happening theme... Great work ! Have a lovely day :)
7 May 2012 8:29am
@Tamara: A joy of this Community is that it reminds us the same Life happens to us all - but in so many different ways ! (L&R)
Heinz from Hamm, Germany
Ein Foto für Tauben-Liebhaber. Spitzenmäßig.
Brieftauben oder Wilde?
7 May 2012 9:44am
@Heinz: Das sind aus der Natur, Heinz - wie Ronnie. (von Lilly)
Julie L. Brown from Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
This is a very clever set-up. You got your pigeon friends to cooperate nicely. Doug comment about 'feral Ronnie' is good. Is there such a thing as a 'wild pigeon' anymore?
7 May 2012 9:53am
@Julie L. Brown: Well, those pigeons sure recognize me but whether they are tame or I am wild I cannot quite fathom, Julie ! (Ronnie)
Sterre from Netherlands
Great idea for the life happening.
The photo is fantastic and nice fits very well in the theme.
7 May 2012 10:06am
@Sterre: Thank you - hope the Theme attracts good interest. (L&R)
Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom
Ooh....err.............I'm as forgetful as you Ronnie, I'll have to see if anything is really happening in my life these days.
BTW that is your left arm not your right, unless you are trying to confuse yourself.

@Curly: I'm left-handed, Ylruc, and often see the sun rise in the west on Yadbom . . . (Einnor)
Benkirane Thami from Fès, Morocco
Joli et efficace effet de réel avec cette offrande aux pigeons doublés par leur représentation picturale !
Bon début de semaine lumineuse et chal-heureuse !

Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada
When in doubt RTFM!! Well done Ronnie! ;-))
7 May 2012 11:24am
@Eric Cousineau: I think the pigeons wrote this one ! (Fledgling Ronnie)
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Ooops. I forgot to take photos that day :(

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
What a beautiful thing happened on your side of the world! I love it! They would come courting you even without those seeds....they are such dedicated beggars!
7 May 2012 1:55pm
@Japanalia: You are so right, Gabriela - those two light-colored ones know me by sight and the others follow ! (Ronnie)
@yz: ha ha . . nice one !! (L&R)
Rick from Toronto, Canada
Life happening and very creatively as always with the amazing tandem of L and R ! Nice to be above rather than below the pigeons, too, and therefore I approve of this POV :-)
7 May 2012 2:38pm
@Rick: Thanks, Rick - we often feel our postings are the start of something rather than an end result and yours and the other lovely Comments here support that notion. Thanks so much. (from Lilly)
Nicou from Sion, Switzerland
Comme ils vienne manger dans la main les graines et ce livre, sueprbe iamge, bravo.

Are you feeding them gold chips?:)love the real pigeons and those talking about them in the book:)
7 May 2012 4:45pm
@tyan: ha ha . . funnily enough, I thought of you while we were working on this and seemed to be doing a dozen vital things at once - including taking a photo and feeding the little ones along the way ! Hugs, Tyan . . (Ronnie)
El pare from Prepirineu, Andorra
Ronnie, your interpretation of the instructions was a success.
7 May 2012 4:51pm
@El pare: I'm relieved it looks that way, El pare! Quite a crowd gathered while I performed the final shot out in public trying to train the pigeons - I'd love to see some of the shots they took !! (Ronnie Relieved)

Steven from Chicagoland, United States
Beautifully composed and captured for this theme! The pigeons don't look so feral after all with them eating right from your hand.
7 May 2012 7:25pm
Hanry from Castricum, Netherlands
Great interpretation of the Life Event theme, compliments! Love the humor to the "R" on the left arm, also well conceived.
7 May 2012 7:53pm
@Hanry: Thanks, Hanry. We find we add stuff as we go along with postings like his . . as if we are working to an unwritten list. (L&R)
@Steve Rice: Always something happening somewhere . . thanks, Steve. (Ronnie)
curieuzeneuzemosterdpot from somewhere between viewer and subject, Belgium

everytihing is perfect! :-))
7 May 2012 9:34pm
@curieuzeneuzemosterdpot: Well, I thought so - not sure why the onlookers were laughing ! (Ronnie Live)

Michael Fresh from Chester, United Kingdom
You did well Ronnie having them feeding from your hand.... or did you mix something in with that corn ?
7 May 2012 11:37pm
@Michael Fresh: That corn is fresh from the street market, Mike. If 'anything' is mixed with it, I'm sure the Romanian Prince there woulda told me. He also does dentistry based in Sebes. (Ronnie)
Dave from Southbridge, United States
Awesome Ronnie, Love the composition and color . Well done Ronnie
8 May 2012 2:25am

Becky from los angeles, United States
I love this. Fantastic! So so sweet - I forgot : ( to take my picture ~ but I'm sure glad that you did!
8 May 2012 2:40am
@Becky: I don't much subscribe to these 'challenges' and 'themes' so this was Lilly's idea. Reading all these lovely Comments confirms what a good idea it was, too ! Thanks, Becky. Thanks, Lilly. (Ronnie)
B.Sully from Surf City, United States
they look fairly tame to me! Great capture & dialogue. You've got a wonderful (and creative!) sense of humour.

Loukas from Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece
I hope you took care that the seeds were enough for all pigeons
8 May 2012 5:05am
@Loukas: Well, I feed only the two brown pigeons who know me well, as you can see. They tend to keep the other 15,999,998 London pigeons away but I see one got thru ! (Ronnie)
Nazzareno from Rome, Italy
An incredible fantasy in your mind my friend!This is the most creative posting for the Aminus theme ....!

@Joyce: And to think that Ronnie took this picture - isn't that just amazing ?! (from Lilly) Aww, see how kind-hearted I can be ? (Ronnie)
