In The Eye Of A Dove

This dove was on the roof at the same time I was. She never flinched at my presence, even when we were just inches away from each other. She was busy picking up tree seeds that had blown down. She knew I was there, but didn’t worry. I was careful not to make any quick moves, but I was able to get many shots of her. I had the super telephoto on, so the focus isn’t wonderful, but she was too cute to ignore. Each time another dove would land, she put her head down and scurried at them to chase them off. Very effective.. : )

    All she could think of were the little seeds on the roof… I still wonder if she even knew I was there….
