Accommodating model

The mourning doves out in back are just the calmest, most accommodating models for pictures. They visit periodically, and I’m always happy to see them. Earlier this morning there was a hawk circling our yards, but unfortunately, I didn’t have a camera handy, and it was about 25 degrees F so I didn’t want to get dressed up to go outside anyway.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.
