Day 76 – 365 Days of Photography

3-17-2014


So once again I bring you the ground dove.   I placed some food to attract the birds at the top of the concrete posts.  Well attract I surely did, I sat there for hours, chirp chirp, keek keek keek, tweet tweet, worrrr worrr worrr worrr.  They came, all different types resting on the electricity wires up top observing.  The only one brave enough to come down to the wall itself was the ground dove.

Not only did it come down, but it perched and posed and ruffled up its tail feathers for me.

Well I got hungry, so I went in to get something to eat.  Ah ha, now that’s why scarecrows work.  When I came back out to retrieve my phone that I had forgotten on my front porch, the bird food was gone.  As soon as I moved the swooped down and ate their tummies full.  I will have to plan differently next time.  Looks like I need to place the food and go lay down on the ground below the curtain.




Enjoy these shots.  Showing all of them on my blog.

Day 19 – 365 Days of Photography

1-19-2014

Today was a very good day for photography.  I captured a weeks’ worth of images, in all forms, from the abstract to the natural, right in the comfort of my own yard.  Unfortunately I am only allowed one post per day.  I chose this one.

Why?  For its spunk, its attitude, its drama, and for the softly spoken story of holding hands, posing on a lurch.  Everywhere nature expresses love, and can be seen in the simplest of forms.

OK, turn your back to me, and watch me out the corner of your eye.  I see you!

The Ruddy Ground Doves!





p.s. Thank you Larry Khan, with helping me find the name of these birds! :-)
