Dove-ine Providence
Traditional theism holds that God is the creator of heaven and earth, and that all that occurs in the universe takes place under Divine Providence — that is, under God's sovereign guidance and control. According to believers, God governs creation as a loving father, working all things for good.

Birds like the Mourning Dove would be EXHIBIT ONE.

Lovey dovey, Mac!
Lovey dovey, Mac!
Makes one want to coo.
It is no wonder that the word "Dove" rhymes with the word "Love". Doves symbolize not just peace, but undying love as well. Beautiful shots, and meaningful words:

Why does that make me think of:
"Nature is the Art of God" (Sir Thomas Browne)
Wow it seems that birds of different feathers are flocking together

A very rare dove. We are lucky to have a couple of them in the shower.

I soap-pose that's true.
They're beautiful but there are two fatties that sit on my finch feeder and try to hog the thistle !
Mourning Doves shower our tree limbs, overhead wires, and fences all throughout the summer. Their call is part-n-parcel at waking and slumber times equally, and bring a swollen sweetness to every Minnesota summer. Their beauty is divine, sacred actually; and we are blessed to be a part of it. Thanks for sharing with us A Mac.
I love doves
Great shot
