Dove of peace and love
Taking a little soul time
Valentine vision

NOTE: The dove is well-known in the Western world as a symbol of peace, but it is also a messenger of symbolic love.
The dove and turtledove are often used as love symbols in weddings.

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Happy Valentines Day my friend...again you've give another bird study I just love! I was once asked to paint a Mourning Dove on a footstool for a husband for Valentines Day, it was his favorite bird. It turned out fabulous! I wish I would've known you then and wished there were digital cameras...I would've asked for a copy.
Some day I'll have the time to sit and paint my avian portraits again, perhaps when that's all I'm required to do...to sit in my rocker on the front porch dreaming my old age away.
I hope we get to meet before that time has come! In the meantime, I think of you often and the loss of your beloved countryside.
Many hugs and again, happy Valentines Day friend!

a dove an excellent symbol of Valentine's Day
I captured a small dove this morning too.
Lovely dove!
Nice dove picture! I can't ever seem to grab my camera in time in moments like this. Old age and all.. :)
Nice picture of the little dove. We have those all over here in Hawaii.
Mine is up over at Feather, Fur and Fins
Perfect choice for today. Happy Valentine's Day ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
They are such beautiful birds with the prettiest eyes.
I love the sounds they make
Hi, this is my first time dropping by your blog... I see you're from Melbourne - I hope it's raining there now!? It's been raining here - 1hr from Sydney - for the last 2 days. Jean and jumper weather!
Anyway... I think that this is a perfect cc post for Valentine's day.
Happy Valentines!!
I like watching the doves. It's easy to understand them being a symbol of peace and love.
PERFECT critter choice for Valentine's Day!
