I love these little doves. This one was sitting in a huge tree and because the sun had gone down I could hardly see it. I brightened up the image itself and then painted in a bright sunset with a brush that I coloured for a backdrop to make it look more realistic. I could watch them all day because there's a lovely grace in the way they go about foraging for seed in the lawn. I like to leave patches of longer grass for them around some of the bigger shrubs. I do the same for the seed-eating parrots along fences and on banks.
