Thank you, Sparkle1103, for your kind words. I really grew to like the doves after raising one a couple years ago. It was amazingly gentle and would sit on my finger like a parakeet. I did release it back to its proper place in the wild, but I always made sure the birdfeeders were full as I suspected it hung around the yard for a while.

Great shot. Those Mourning Doves are so cute sometimes.

Thank you, Carol. Alovely and Whittler, for looking and leaving a comment. I like your observation, Alovely, about the contrast of soft and hard materials. I thought it was funny how the little sparrows ignored the big guy.

What a great capture of an open wing of the dove. The contrast of softness of the feathers and the strength of the metal side by side, I find very pleasing.
