Never knew these birds were so pretty. Great capture.

[Mags]

Beautiful! I love the mourning doves. =)

[Judith Johnson]

Super capture. I read Camus at college, as part of my French course, but ended up cheating and reading the English translation!

[Karen]

A beautiful shot - these birds give off such a soft and peaceful vibe. I love them.

Lovely subtle colour on the chest feathers.

delightful capture - that eye!

[Dorothy]

I guess I’ve never been that close to a dove to see the eyes!
Love the quote too.

A lovely portrait, though I confess to being one of that minority that doesn't like Mourning Doves. They are just so shockingly dense...

[Islandgirl]

Nice focus!

A beautiful close-up! And your dof complements the dove perfectly! As others have mentioned, I have never seen a mourning dove so closely! You are showing us all its beauty, KV (and yes- that eye!) Fav

So sweet. I love Doves

So striking! The doves in my area don't seem to have that bluish tint. Like your quote, too.

What a beauty I love the blue around her eye
