A visitor to our home looked out the window and said,"Look at all those dead birds!"
We looked out, smiled, and said, "Those are just doves sunning themselves".
So I decided to take a few photos of them. Unfortunately, by the time I got my camera, most of them had gone.
Here we see one dove sunning itself and another preening itself.

Stunning and you can see the different coloration... one being the brown and the other the blue gray. Such and interesting shot because you first have to decipher what you are looking at... I love it! Carm

What a siesta but.. one eye open.Right exposure keeps texture in the wings.

I love the one on the right, a lovely wingspan and the eye just visible says that he is still alert

Very nicely done, Tom. I love the detail in the spread wing! Just beautiful.

You've managed to capture an unusual pose as they feel quite relax and enjoy the sun. Beautiful colour tonings. Bea.
