Soaking up Some Sun

It is a lovely sunny day and looking out of the window I can't feel the -14 Celsius temperatures.A dove fluttered in to sit on the deck railing and enjoy the sun.

He or she didn't mind the cold snow and just settled down to enjoy the warmth from the sun.  It just posed as the perfect lens friend. It's a long weekend for us in Ontario to celebrate Family Day. So I was lucky to have this opportunity to capture the dove through my lens as I would usually be at work during this time.

I'm linking to Mosaic Monday.  I hope you have time to do a blog hop over there and see some other wonderful mosaic photos.

  4. Hi Linda, Great shot of the mourning dove. Did you get all the snow over the last couple of days. I will welcome spring anytime now.

  5. That was a great shot!
    I was listening to the debate, this morning on CBC, about Family Day. We don't have a stat holiday in BC between Christmas and Easter - and it's a long stretch some years!

  6. The doves seem to like to sit where they get the heat from the sun. Great mosaic of your backyard birds.

  7. Good shots Linda, I do like doves and it looks like I have a pair that will be nesting on the side of my house again this year. They keep checking the old nest out from before. best wishes Julie.C
