Looking at doves, makes me feel so good and hearing them cooing is pure joy. we saw 3 like this one on our walk today, the first we have seen in a long time.. they were walking in the grass, and hard to see. we have heard them cooing but not seen them. the resident hawks have done away with birds and squirrels.
The dove pictures are so lovely. It is a bird of peace, and just left a blog friend's post before this talking about peace. This was perfect timing, Rose. That first picture is just right.
They are gorgeous birds, particularly in that light. We have the similar Collared Dove here, which started to appear in the 1950s, much to the delight of many. Unfortunately they have now become so numerous that it's difficult to appreciate them fully any more - especially when they use your windows, paths and cars as their toilet!
The lighting is perfect. You captured some great shots.
ReplyDeleteI think the light is really the key to this gorgeousness!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I love our doves!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dove shot. Happy new week!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm always surprised by how far their calls carry...
ReplyDeleteUma bela sequência de fotografias e aproveito para desejar uma boa semana.

Perfect pictures of the mourning dove!! They always seem so calm and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! A very peaceful image. I have a pair of mourning doves that frequent my platform bird feeder. They are always together.
ReplyDeleteWonderful light on these sweet photos.

Not hard to see why they are universally regarded as symbols of peace and love.
