Here below are two little videos I took from my Deck, looking down into my garden, below....There are lots of Doves around now that Spring is here and these are two little videos of two different Doves searching around for food..... 
I hope to take some more video of these dear birds....And of course, a lot more pictures, too......

Hi Naomi! Visiting doves...peace?
I collect seashells...nice squares I thought... I note the patterns on yours is different from the one I have though they're from the same family.

You just needed a statue of a Civil War general for them to roost on.

Hello. I haven't commented in a while but I do visit and enjoy your pictures very much. The birds are wonderful pictures of peace and gentleness. Thanks for sharing. Needless to say, I love the seashells. We have two large live reef tanks filled with life.

"Of course, I could throw them some bird seed" made me chuckle.
And if you do start feeding them, you will get alot of bird doo doo around the property!
Beautiful birds.
How is the next door neighbor yard looking these days? Did that "building" ever materialize into something (hopefully not a bird/chicken coop)?
Have a great weekend. Anne- Thursday, April 17, 2008 at 12:47:00 PM PDT

Love the Doves! You know, for someone who can't walk down into her garden without someone with her, you don't seem to be missing very much. I just love how you observe everything!

I'm glad that you take time to enjoy the wildlife around you. You seem to "smell the roses" better than most of us, I need to do that more. Thanks, Naomi

They come to my birdfeeder and flap away crying whenever I open the door. Sounds like a cry, wonder if that's how they got their name mourning dove? The cardinal is back that bangs itself against our window. Not as much as last year, maybe it's getting older.

There are quite a few of these mourning doves who live in my back yard, I put bird seed out in the bird feeder and they just love it!

Hi Naomi!! I love the doves. They are such a sweet bird. We have lots of them here. You could buy some sunflower seeds and drop them over the balcony into your garden or bird feed!! All the critters would love it!! Squirrels and chipmunks love it too!
I was wondering about the acorns I sent you. Did anything ever grow from those?- Friday, April 18, 2008 at 7:35:00 AM PDT
- had this to say:
Just beautiful, Naomi! Here in my yard I have many doves and I love seeing them making his nest on my porch!
Love seeing your videos. I agree with you they are very, very sweet! And I also love hear your beautiful voice! Sounds you are so near me!
Thanks for your kind words about my flowers! Many hugs and have a nice weekend!

Here by way of Michele's, she says hello and I say happy Friday & safe weekend to ya.- Friday, April 18, 2008 at 2:23:00 PM PDT

I don't think I've ever seen doves captured so sweetly - both in stills and in motion. I wish I had a fraction of your sensitivity to your environment, Naomi.
Michele sent me this evening to share a long overdue hello, and to let you know that you're never out of mind.- Friday, April 18, 2008 at 2:55:00 PM PDT

Hi Naomi!
Thanks for another visiting on my blog. I agree with you, this image is really amazing and expressive. My friend Eduardo (the artist that made my caricature, did you remember him?) found this image on Internet. It was used as an ad of Australian Post with this phrase: "If you really want to touch someone, send them a letter".
It's very appropriate for sure!
Have a nice weekend!
Many hugs!- Friday, April 18, 2008 at 6:28:00 PM PDT
