Actually a mourning dove (morning, dove) saying good night. Just a little before sundown, sitting in a branch about 15 feet overhead.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

This shot has your usual excellent clarity, but what I really love about this is the way the dove is bathed in that wonderful, warm, golden light. Beautiful.

Hihooo Charlie, did you happen to be here when your shot appeared at the main page ? if not, i want to inform you that your dove image was posted at the main page !
That says something about the quality of your shot for sure, congrats are in order.

Well that goes surpassed me, i only speak basic English, German and some French besides my Dutch language. I can only judge the posted images by viewing, but am a total Neanderthaler from the stone age to see the nuances in text :-( i am sorry about that :-(
