Morning Dove Portraits | HowdyMorning Dove Portraits | a 7 Image Story   This Morning Dove hung around the deck for a long time.  It seemed to pose in several positions like a model in a photo shoot.  Even the red and green background from the crab apple tree made the images appear like they were shot in studio with a backdrop.  Maybe, the Morning Dove knew a camera was clicking away on the other side of the glass window.  Sometimes, it seemed to say: “notice my beautiful feathers!   All these images were captured within a couple of minutes.  Unfortunately, all photo shoots must come to an end.  After awhile, it flew away to raid the birdseed feeder.

Howdy  Great day for a photo shoot!  The late afternoon light is beginning to get nice, even though it’s strong enough to cast a shadow.   Another Take  Time to continue the photo shoot!  This time is more about being a bit coy; for a Morning Dove, that is.  Say What   Photo shoots would be wonderful if not for those meticulous photographers.  My left side is more photogenic than my right; don’t you think?  Break Time  Finally, it’s time for a break.  Being a high fashion model can be tiring.  Makeup & Preen After a nice break, it’s time to clean up and makeup before the next photo shoot.  Show Time  Back to work at the photo shoot!  Photograph my left side again please.  Time to Go  All good photo shoots must come to an end.

Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Morning Dove Portraits.
