There was a young dove that let me enjoy its company today, while I was carving out my place in the paper caves.
It looked me over a few times to be sure that I was not going to do anything harmful.
Then it walked over to the other side of the railing on the deck, made itself comfy on the corner and went to sleep.
We spent over an hour together, in peaceful meditation.

Awwwwww....the peaceful sleep of a dove. At my house they just come and eat and then nest in some totally inappropriate spot so I can watch the kids grow, but I will have to water something carefully while they are being tended by Momma, who will step aside for me! They are so pretty and the pics are just perfect. I love your photography. ♥
ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweet tale Jo. I have not watched the babies from their nesting places, but that would be grand too! We do have families of quail that I get to see when they are itty bitty babies though. :-)
DeleteThank you for enjoying them with me!
Lovely shots! We have a nest of doves every year and both my hubby and I love waiting for the babies. :O)
ReplyDeleteOh, now I have to visit both you AND Jo, so I can see the babies too!
DeleteThank you Beth.
Aw, I love these little guys. One spring we had a determined dove build and rebuild and rebuild his nest in the well of Rob's windshield. I know how much Rob hated to relocate the little guy, but man was he determined.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can see how that might be problematic for him. I wonder why they decided that it was THE place to build a nest. They are so sweet!
DeleteWonderful snapshots. I'm surprised it let you get so close.

They surprise me too sometimes. This one stayed close for over an hour! I love it when they treat me like part of their natural surroundings though.
DeleteOH I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!! just look at the POV and eye contact..just just so intimate and precious !!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you Brenda. I love the birds as much as you do :-)
DeleteBeautiful and serene. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteWas put in touch with the neatest book; what it means when nature reaches out to you, tho i think you understood the message perfectly here. Peace can rest with you! :0)
ReplyDeleteLooked it up for you; (Animal-Speak pocket guide by Ted Andrews)
Dove (peace) "a new cycle of opportunities at hand. They bring a time of peace and prophecy. Mourn and release what has passed as new birth"
Thank you for looking it up. The timing was perfect for such a visit, and a necessary part of the process. That was beautiful.
DeleteWonderful writing and pictures.
