AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Dove in the shadows
Peacefully resting alone
Soft moment in time

I have just been watching the doves in my garden! One was having a sandbath although there is plenty of water in bowls and birdbaths. Dove - symbol of peace! May they spread their wings of peace over you too!

Pretty dove! Have so many of these in my back garden. I love watching them and their soft cooing is so peaceful!

Lovely dove and shadows, Gemma. Doves are such sweet birds. ;-)

There's a dove 'round these parts we call the "mourning dove". It has a soft coo that sounds sort of like mournful weeping, thus the name. They are gentle, timid creatures.

Love this litle guy (or girl?) with his ruffled feathers. He looks so soft! He sure has found a nice spot to sit & relax. Hope you are having a great Sunday Gemma :)

Being graced by a dove is a nice gift. And nice shadows in your photo.

I seldom see doves on the ground looking so 'fluffy' ... they're usually sitting in pairs on high wires around here. My Shadow Shot was at Happily Retired Gal last weekend.
Hugs and blessings,
