I was sorting out some music in my study this afternoon when I noticed a pair of collared doves sitting on the lamppost outside the window. They looked rather sweet, cosying up to each other in the chilly breeze, so I grabbed my camera and 70-200mm lens and snapped a few frames. This was the best one by far, with both of them watching me intently as I watched them.

And these two pigeons (young turtledoves= tourtereaux : in French this term indicate also in love ones) are apparently interested in what they look ! :) josy63 · 2011-02-18: 11:20

Sweet shot. I have these doves come to my garden feeders. Lynda · 2011-02-18: 11:35
