I don’t know what was going on in the mind of this Laughing Dove that we encountered on during our visit to Ethiopia but it just insisted on walking toward me and getting too close for a photo. Every time I walked backward to get some distance it would just head right for me again. It seemed totally fearless. Finally, I had to walk way back and then just take a bunch of rapid shots before it got too close. This wasn’t exactly what I was going for but hopefully you can get some idea of the beauty of this little dove.
