ALONE
Time has passed, another day
Where flights are flown and fledglings play
And faces light up in the sun
To welcome time that has begun
Whilst busy, working on the wing
Foraging, for food to bring
To make the most of daylight hours
Feeding around scented flowers
Yet soon the time will come to hide
To wrap up warm and stay inside
For peril does Dark’s company keep
Where hunters have no need to sleep
So off we fly, in harmony
Then search on for a sanctuary
We dance the sky and sing a song
Evening nigh, it won’t be long
And as I wait for night to draw
Protected here from tooth and claw
Cooped up in this tiny space
I’m safe within my secret place.
Thanks very much Julie Langford

Starr1949
Looks like a Snow White dove….He sends his pure sweet love.! Beautiful, and alone. Trapped it seems The wood beneath it squared off and the coloring and fading of it into darkness…is a nice added touch. a coupole of pieces of straw sticking out from the gaps between the planks. Just a tad of contrast. Very, very sweet! Good Job!

This seems almost post-apocalyptic, as if someone peeked into a hidden area and found the last vestige of animal life. Dark, yet hopeful. Great!

some say pigeon and some say Dove…in the new testament the dove is a symbol for the holy spirit (i’m not into religion but thought those who may be could appreciate this referance, the bird is not merely a pigeon it is a creature that should be respected) these birds are a respectable lot, they do’t eat your garbage (unless perhaps you have fruit amongst your trash) they eat a specialized diet of fruit and/or seed, and are also the strongest flyers of all the bird species…the dove is also used as a sign of peace…
Favd this peace (lol…had to do it) i love the natural feel of the treatment used…. this lil guy looks frightened doesn’t he?
