Digging Through The Snow by sunnygreenwood

Digging Through The Snow

Busy days these days. We have two funerals in three days for friends in their 60's, cancer and heart attack. We took care of our granddaughter for a few hours yesterday. She's in the 95th percentile for height and weight and gives my back a workout. I'm trying to recover from that. So today's pic is another from the beautiful snowy day last week when the birds had to dig for their dinner. This Mourning Dove did it very gracefully.

Many thanks for dropping by.
Nice close capture. Sounds like it's time to just sit back and relax.

Nice capture of the dove. I'm amazed at how plumb they look in spite of the winter but I guess you feeding trays help them get through the winter. I'm sorry to learn so of your friends have died recently.
