Lonesome Dove



A young mourning dove, settled down on one of our patio chairs.

this close up, isn't due to a cool and funky fantastic lens (those who know me, know I've only got the one on the wee camera I use)

I was sitting (after carefully snapping and stepping one step at a time, while gazing in the other direction, so as not to appear as a snake staring at the bird - I took about 30 shots on the way in close) in the chair next to it, and when I stretched out my arm, I almost had to put the camera on macro, I was so close. maybe 2 ft away? It was a bit nervous as I moved in, but I took my time, and it stayed put. Sometimes patiences really does pay off! lol
