It is strange how we so often dismiss as uninteresting, or just overlook what is a common every day site, like this laughing dove. Yet when we take the time to stop and observe them, it can be so rewarding.
When I pulled into work this morning, this little guy did not move off, so out came the camera and I am glad I took the time to take a few shots, even though I was running late.
Looking at this bird it is also easy to see how the term, "as gentle as a dove" originated.

I like the second pic with the dove checking you out. My guess is that he flew away moments later.
Beautiful subtle coloring. I like the way he's checking you out.
Firefly, this was one of the most obliging birds I have ever photographed. He only flew away when I opened my car door.
Photowannabe, that is also my favourite

I have always loved their gentle look. I call it quiet beauty.
love your sky watch photo... its breathtaking and I also love this dove I so enjoy all the birds that come to my yard ... not one will let me as close as this to them but I still totally enjoy!
Have a great weekend!
Wow so cute, Anna :) PS we got morning doves here in Canada, you want to trade, lol.
Certainly a lovely bird with nice muted colors!!
Great shot, I'm surprised you got so close to him/her.
