I'm so pretty
Deerfield Beach, FL, December 2008 [Click to enlarge]
We noticed this little munchkin as we sat on the beach and watched the sun rise (see here for more.) She was still there after an hour, sitting quietly on her perch at the base of the lifeguard tower. As you can tell, she let us get pretty close.

That is an incredible shot. I love it......
ReplyDeleteI concur: a wonderful shot of your little friend! aloha-
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. She looks like she is dressed in velvet.
ReplyDeleteNice photo. I'm amazed you were able to get so close. I tend to scare away birds when I try to take a photo with my little point and shoot.
ReplyDeleteOne more astonishing photo from the Carmi Collection. Wow. Every detail knife sharp. And lighted perfectly. Simply incredible. You always manage to leave me wondering how you did that. Wicked fast shutter? Image stabilized lenses? Or just no pulse?
ReplyDeleteWhatever the secret is, I'm glad you choose to share the results with the rest of us.
Mourning doves sure are lovely .. none too bright.. but lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing that she let you get so close. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Looks like a mourning dove - they're so sweet, but 'round these parts they are a bit skittish, and I never would have gotten as close as you did.
ReplyDeleteGot some birds myself this week.

What kind of lens did you use to get that close
ReplyDeleteLovely Picture. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteMy WW is also the result of a close up moment with one of nature's creatures.
Quite a cooperating friend! Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! my WW is up on Prepared for Survival
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful, she looks so patient!
ReplyDeleteWow! the eye is great.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised she let you get so close, birds are generally so skittish. I love the colors, from the lighter browns to the deep chocolate color. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. And your blog title sounds like it could be a BOOK title.
ReplyDeleteMine's up, too.
Great photo!
ReplyDeleteI love the post below too. Well said.
Happy ww. I have a caption for this photo - Morning with the Mourning Dove.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like a Mourning Dove but its color is odd .. must be a Florida tan ... that's it .. a tan!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great shot. I've got a simple one myself today.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo, beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Mourning Dove!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW! Very pretty! I love the sharpness and how you captured her eye.

ReplyDeleteNice bird shot! Hope you can also share you beautiful photos in our meme.
