Waiting Out the Storm by grammyn

Waiting Out the Storm

We have had threats of stormy weather all week and it finally came to fruition tonight. These two doves were patiently waiting for it to pass by so they could get on with life. That yellow sky is not from the sunset
Two birds on a wire!

Beautiful capture. I like the sharp contrast. I hope your weather improves now.

A nice capture

Nice silhouette

Excellent shot! Who said that items should come in threes? This is proof that in twos, it's just as great.

Fab silhouette

August 12th, 2023  
Nice

The color of the sky is weird. Is the sky the background or is this a wall? Nice simple photo without a lot of distractions. I sat out front last evening while waiting on my friend to come pick me up for supper and communed with a dove. I have two bird id apps on my phone that play bird songs. The dove wasn't impressed. Evidently the apps weren't singing anything important.

I'm in the curiosity zone with all the others- was that really the color of the sky or were you playing with it? Nice diagonal composition!
August 12th, 2023  
Is that yellow sky from the storm? I like the diagonal

@maggiemae by the time I tried to take another shot one flew off and before I could focus to get just that one it flew off!
@shutterbug49 thank you Debbie exclude mission point we really needed the rain so I was glad to have it and it has gone back to 90+ degrees
@Dawn not as good as some of your bird shots but thank you so much
@lynnz I’m so glad you think so Lynn
@brigette thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment
@monikozi I’m always so grateful for any comments you make. Thanks.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond thanks, Jackie I’m glad you like it
@ludwigsdiana thanks so much Diana. I did not. The storm clouds scatter the blue light, making the sky look yellow.
@joansmor thank you so much, Johanna
@wakelys we often get that color when there is a storm Sue
@briaan i’m so glad you think so Brian thanks
@randystreat that is actually the color of the sky, Kathy, the storm clouds scatter the blue light, so only the yellow is and we often see it like this. How funny that the doves weren’t interested in your attempt to talk to them.
@tunia thank you so much, Tunia. I am glad you like them.
@koalagardens I’m really happy you think so Katrina thanks bunches
@phil_howcroft we often get it that color during summer storms Phil
@olivetreeann that was the actual color of the sky Ann. It happens when the storm clouds scattered and blue light only the yellow shows, and we often see this during summer storms, especially.
@kjarn yes Kathy it is. We see it a lot during summer storms. I’m glad you like the diagonal.

I used the apps one evening when I was sitting on my friend's deck. She has a very big tree that is right at one corner which is close to the feeders on the deck. The birds come and hang out there. The app's birdsongs seemed to scare them off.

@randystreat that seems so strange to me
August 14th, 2023  
Beautiful capture! I love the composition, the contrast, and the color… even though the color means storm!

@marilyn you know I love a good storm! Thanks Sissy
