    I have quite a few couples in my yard and love their cooing sounds. The feathers are so soft looking near the tip.
    Nice shot!

    What a beautiful feather, lying on the ideal complementary surface. I suppose it's the black patch that puts the poor little bird in mourning.

    That's a very pretty, softly-coloured dove. Feathers are beautifully designed, delicate and strong. I prefer the coloured version of your feather to the monochrome, though both show the details perfectly.

    Nature at it's finest!!!

    AN OLD RUSTED LANTERN is my macro shot today. I hope you can find time to stop by for a visit. Have a great Monday.

    Beautiful! I like that you included a picture of the bird too. We have Collared Doves that look quite a lot like that.

    It's a lovely feather. We have doves in our yard but I don't believe I have ever found a feather. I really need to pay more attention!
