Napping Dove

It is hard to keep your eyes open in that warm late afternoon sun.

Cool shot! How far away were you?

Doves are pretty strange. I have a bunch of them that come to my yard. I've seen them walking in the grass and then just sit down and fall asleep for an hour or so, right out in the open. That can't be a survival instinct, especially when you taste so good.

They do appear to be a pretty laid back bird...I think they are very sweet looking.

Very nice image Stan. Most folks overlook images of Doves and Pigeons, but they can be excellent subjects. I like the soloring from the sun's glow.
