  • Sphinx Moth at a Trumpet Lily - There was a very busy background, so I isolated the lily and the sphinx moth and replaced the bg with a color that was already in some of the bg.
  • Oriental Poppy
  • Tiger Lily
  • Moth on Petunias - taken last summer
  • Squirrel
  • Oriental Lilies - It is very cold and and is snowing here.
  • Sunflower
  • Shirley Poppy
  • Wasp Near a Gloriosa Daisy/Rudbeckia - photo taken during the summer
  • Rock Dove
  • Raven - Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!  Just for the sake of clarity, the heater in the  birdbath only comes on when temps are below freezing, so the  birds are normally dealiing with ice cold water.
  • House Finch Bathing - John mentioned that he has a heater in his fountain to keep it running for the birds.  We have one, as well.  Like Linda's, our heater does not cut on unless it is freezing or below.  So, the water is generally icy cold.
  • House Finch Taking a Bath
  • Sunflowers - this shot had quite a busy background, so I decided to change it to black.  It took quite a lot of painstaking work but I like the result.
  • Finch Bathing
  • Northern Red-Shafted Male Flicker waiting for its turn at the seeds.
  • Asian Collared Dove - We got about 4 inches of snow last night and it is still snowing.  I have already shoveled the drive and the sidewalks, although I will probably have to do it again.  Luckily, the snow is very light.
  • One of My Bathing Beauties on the Fountain - the way the finches puff out their feathers when they are bathing just makes me smile!

    Judy, This is an outstanding close-up photo you captured of this Dove with details and colors.

    I guess you are still having problems leaving comments on my photos on SmugMug with your name. If that's the case, just leave Judy H at the end the end your comment.

    Tack sharp capture of the Rock Dove, a much maligned species of birds for having no respect for public art. Superb capture of all the different hues in the feathers.

    Nice work, Judy< to capture all of the dove's beautiful subtle plumage colors that often are not visible.

  • RBlackburn

    So many different colors and tones in the plumage. Well captured.

    I love Doves, one of my most favorite birds. This is a real beauty. You captured it so well, and I do love the iridescent sheen in the feathers. Awesome shot Judy!
