Forty Feet in the air, sat a cooing Mourning Dove, first is out of the camera
Mourning Doves are so friendly and non agressive, a person or pet or predator can walk right up to them. The sound of thier cooing in early AM or early evening fills me with joy they like platforms or trees, not bird houses
2nd is a little touch up from Photoshop
What did the baby chick say when he saw his mother sitting on an orange ? 'Dad, dad, look what marma-laid' !
3rd is a little more touch up.
.
A couple of pigeons made a date to meet on the ledge outside the tenth floor of a skyscraper. The female was there on time, but the male arrived an hour late. "Where were you? I was worried sick." "It was such nice day, I decided to walk."
It almost looks like it was carved out of wood!
ReplyDeleteIn the early morning here I can lie in bed and just listen to the doves cooing. I just love that sound. Then, always in the early mornings, add the far faraway sound of a train going through downtown Mesa. I don't know what there is about the sound of a train whistle, but it's very comforting and very soothing.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting to hear that first Mourning Dove of spring.I love their gentleness.Great work with Photoshop.This program is a very good friend of mine.It helps me take better pictures.Wink,Wink.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of the Mourning Doves, Sandra. We have them here --and I love to hear their cooing. All of our birds are singing like crazy today... It's 'mating time' in Tennessee... ha

Love them too, but they are hogs at our bird feeder. Your pix 1, 2 and 3 were like those puzzles in the paper. . . you know, find the differences. Thanks with enjoyable moments with nature, technology and laughs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful effects you can do to the pictures. Sandie
ReplyDeleteHa, Ha, Ha! You just knew I needed a smile today, didn't you? Great pics!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty and sweet birds.... nice capture Sandra!
ReplyDeleteLovely bird and yes they are a joy to see. Your touch ups are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSuch a peaceful looking bird. We rarely hear them here.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture and Photo Editing, Sandra. I've been stalking my feeders and bird bath for a shot of the White Wing Dove...so far I'm getting Sparrows. The Dove are a bit skittish and I'm not fast enough to catch them...yet! But I will! In the meantime, I'm getting some pretty Sparrow Shots!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't found enough time to really get into the photoshop yet. Hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteohhh what did you do with the leaf picture???!!! I loved that picture and i kinda miss it!
ReplyDeleteNot that this one isn't good, i just liked the other one a LOT!

Great blog. I love the header. Doves seem to have a peaceful look about them. They even sound mournful. If you've ever seen a doves nest you would be shocked. It is so flimsy. If you ever see one you can come back later and find eggs laying on the ground.
ReplyDeleteThe dove is beautiful. I love the cooing sound they make. Good post.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the mourning dove. I am starting to see them in this area again but they don't coo that much, more like a very loud owl sound.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed these photos and have always loved that sound! It will forever remind me of my youth- through out my life actually. Hey, your header looks cool too! Enjoy your evening-
