Make the Most of What's Available
Most of the autumn leaves of 2012 out my way, have fallen; that means those nice wide angle fall foliage shots are no longer possible ... not until next year. But where there are remnants of the most colorful season of the year, there are possibilities for the photographer who is determined to make the most of what's available.
An example is this Mourning Dove image that I was fortunate enough to find between my lens and several trees holding on to some bright fall colors.

That's an awesome picture Mac!
Beautiful shot Mac. I wonder why such a nice bird is called mourning.
Thanks Fed up,
God/Nature/The Cosmos creates the "awesome," I just take pictures.
The name comes from its call ... it is a mellow, sad, haunting "coooooooo".
Beautiful shot and thanks Mac! Love mourning doves; they go throughout the day with their mournful call, but it gets drowned out by all the other birds. For some reason in the evening when the other birds arequietingdown, the Mourning dove's coo's are so restful. Reminds me of mid-summers evenings around thecampfirein the backyard, drowsing off in a lawn chair and getting ate by mosquitos. It's snowing really heavy right now and this is going to stick around I fear. Winter is here to stay.
Thanks for the bird pic Mac, they are my favorites!
:~)
This is me making the most with what I found about an hour ago
Textures make for interesting imagery, Larry ... and the snow on the tree limbs creates a kind of visual rhythm.
Thanks for posting!
You just take the pictures, but you do it so well.
Thanks Buzz ... the subject matter is the star of the show.
Hope things are well with you.
Yes, things are going well, thanks.
It's pretty neat how it has different shades of blueespeciallyaround the eyes and a blue beak.
That is terrific AMac!!!! Usually I am drawn to color as the primary subject... This image turns that paradigm on its head. Inspiring!!!
The iridescent feathers create lots of interesting variations depending on the angle of light and the temperature of the ambient light source.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
