Ours stay year round. I think she is looking at you and thinks white will make her stand out more and she does. Gorgeous image!

You have capitalized on the snow to set the Dove off so well

this looks just like our dove with the light blue around the eye... I have noticed that doves around the world are all slightly different but very similar.. great details and dof... sorry about the snow.

This is a fantastic shot of the dove.
I was looking at the weather in the States the other day on the news,
you sure are getting all sorts.

A lovely photo Cindy, of the dove impervious to the snow

Wow, you have snow now! Great picture of the dove on snow!

Nice capture... We have possible snow flurries in our forecast and it did
snow a bit at higher elevations earlier in the week. Weather has been odd.

Doesn't get any better than this, Cindy.
Excelt that the bird, like you, is dealing with snow at this time of year...

Spectacular detail and setting, Cindy! And your exposure was perfecto!
