Eurasian-Collard Dove

"Quotes are echos of voices transporting

 wisdom, humor, and love. 

Returning again to the human condition,

 fleeting once more as a dove."

~Ryan Lilly

I spotted this gorgeous, Eurasian-Collard Dove, last June, but just didn't get around to posting it until now. I am not sure why, but I guess I was hoping to get a closer shot, or one with perhaps a better background, but I just didn't spot another one before the end of last year. So, click the link below, to learn a little more about this gorgeous dove, including the sound of it's cooing! It's so pretty, I almost couldn't take my eyes off of it!

When I was in Santa Cruz, a couple weeks ago, I was so thankful to be surrounded by all the beauty of the place. It is always fun to visit there, but my favorite part is to just sit on the beach and relax and enjoy the sun. I am thankful for where I live. California is beautiful! And Santa Cruz is definitely one of my favorite places!

A Photo A Day For 6 Months: Day 59~ Outrageous Color

"Imagine a delicious glass of summer ice tea. Take a long, cool sip. Listen to the ice crackle and clink. Is the glass part full or part empty? Take another sip. And now?"

Color... Crazy, Vivid, Picturesque... Color. I enjoy photographing grays and muted earth tones, but how could anyone with a camera ever pass up the bright, cheerful shades of summer. Blue like the ocean, purple of royalty, the bright sunny oranges, which will transition to soft pumpkin shades in autumn. Color.... Crazy, Vivid, Picturesque... AMAZING COLOR.

 


Happiness.
